What are some practical applications for Perl?

[Brad Bonkoski]

IMHO..
Perl is mainly a system administration tool used to automate different systems administrative tasks like log rotating, log checking,
backups, etc...
It is also use occasionally in CGI web programming, although I would lean toward PHP for this functionality.
