I've seen perl used in large scale apps.  The major concern is that you
need to define coding styles for your programmer(s) to use, and choose
"preferred" mechanisms

Basically, while there IS "more than one way to do it", you get to decide
"THIS is OUR way to do it" :o

And perl6 looks really neat :o  but it's still way away :(
