You don't define /successful/. How well you succeed depends on what your go=

I'm working on email system,I know lots of mail applications are implemented with Perl.For example,everyone.net,postmaster.co.uk... are developed under Perl.And,the famous opensources site,slashdot.org,is drived by mod_perl.

A few that I consider "successful":

cPanel - cpanel.net

apple.com

amazon.com

The navy uses perl to "synchronize watches":
http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/cgi-bin/timer.pl

A few of our higher end communications clients use Perl exclusively for
their VoIP systems and customer management. (sorry, we signed a paper
that said we'd not reveal any info about it so mum's the word ;p)

I also have advanced knowldge of a certain companie's 10th anniversary
celebration that involves releasing an up till now internal/private Perl
based system for general use.

I can't elaborate or they'd have to kill me but all I can say is, I
can't freaking wait to be able to use that "successful application of Perl"!

ebay.com started out as a perl, but it's been revamped as java for a
few years now.

For web application,I think Java is more excellent than Perl or mod_perl.
I use earthlink's mailbox as one of my primary account,this webmail application is developed under Java,it's really good and fast,better than any Perl/CGI webmail that I have seen.Pobox's web application is implemented with mod_perl,it seems good too.

1. I think that server-side Java for web development is one of the
supidest ideas I've ever heard. Here's a language for which one of the
top three reasons it exists is portability, and someone thinks that
qualifies it as the ultimate server-side web development language. Good
plan, folks.

2. I think Java applets are the bane of my existence, from time to time
at least.

3. I think your statement is entirely off-topic for this discussion
thread.
