pretty much anything you want, Perl is still driving unix based world, perl has mojority of the C libraries ported, so you may write daemons, crons, random DB cleanup actions, CRM's, API's, XML processing engines, etc... there is no limit of what you can or cannot write in perl, sometimes you just have to ask yourself a question if its worth writing it in perl, because there might be other languages that can make your life simpler :)

I don't do much of that.. LOL. In fact I do none of that! You can build search engines with perl too, isn't that what google is based on?
