Check out the final report (PDF) on the 10th ICFP Programming Contest. It's a bit scary how clever the organisers think they are, but it's nice to see Perl taking second place - and no functional language in the top three.
Perl is a fine tool for many applications

Oh! And I thought that Perl is
a) Dead
b) CGI only
c) Only used for small scripts, oneliners etc
