Anyone on this list use AxKit? I'm curious how it pans out. I like the idea of XSLT/XML, though I find myself trying to read between the lines of hype vs. something that's actually very useful. I don't know, so I don't have any opinions. I do know I'd like to use XSLT/XML so as to have a project to use it for, hence learn it.
Not just that, but what about SOAP... Net RPC... I'd like to know where those fit in as well. I get so tired of Java types talking about how "perl is just a scripting language.. it's not an application platform/server like Dynamo/WebSpere/<insert $$$ java non-OS app here>". I even tried to crack a particular Orielly java book and was turned off on a statement like "Perl is good for proto-typing but not a full application server". Yes, there are a lot of prototypes getting millions of pageviews a day and generating signicifican revenue. I'd like to see perl/mod_perl reclaim some of the lost ground.
