Perl
Perl is my favourite programming language. CPAN with its 19183 modules (on 2011-01-19) is a good reason for that. You should never need to reinvent the wheel. Among the modules I use often, you will find:
- Catalyst - MVC framework for the web
- Mojolicious - another great framework for the web, inspired by Catalyst, Ruby on Rails and more.
- DBIx::Class - powerful object/relational mapper for making great db applications
Perl applications runs best on free software - e.g. FreeBSD or Linux.
