  1. That's neat -- but I'll stick with SOAP::Lite by rjamestaylor · · Score: 5, Insightful
    I am amazed at how powerful perl w/ CPAN is and have yet to find the "killer app" requiring me to leave perl and get into Java servers or .NET stuff. I deploy a SOAP server with SOAP::Lite that is used for real-time prescription dispensing. The other end is Java on Windows. Yes, I ran into the "base64" encoding assumption but once pointed in the right direction we were golden.

    A friend who is an expert with Blue Martini (a very expensive Java-based application server) said that perl with CPAN was more impressive.

    But, as long as Microsoft and Sun have the advertising avenues to reach the PHBs, Perl will be the despised step-child of Web application development. But despised stepchildren tend to have, er, Cinderella stories.
