Amazon.com [amazon.com]

IMBd.com [imdb.com]

And many others. Some of Perl's most-visible major applications are websites that people use daily.

  I wouldn't call those applications. I know plenty of places that use Perl, but what I can't seem to point at is anything made in Perl that is a consumer level product type thing.

    That leaves Frozen Bubble [frozen-bubble.org] and the Mandrake utilities. You might count L'ane [sourceforge.net], which Ovid [perl.org]'s company has used. There's not much, is there?

      Okay, L'ane definately counts. It is made for people to use right out of the box (well, almost).
      
      Is Frozen Bubbles really Perl? If we implemented Tetris or Minesweeper in Perl, we could take over the world.
