in reply to Perl Desktop Applications

Last I checked, Cisco Systems' CWSI network management platform was comprised of a bazillion smallish perl (and java) programs.   Never got to talk with any developers, but expect that was done at least in part to ease multiplatform support - Win32, Solaris, AIX, etc.

CiscoWorks mostly isn't a desktop program, but is clearly a commercially viable application family, costing several (many?) thousand $USD.
