Recently I found some old floppy drives at the back of a drawer. I manager to find an usb disk drive, inserted the floppy, what do I find? Sure enough, Perl code I've written back in 2000! Indeed, those were the days :)

If it was back-end website code it probably used Lincoln Stein's CGI.pm module which was used everywhere though it was a bit of a beast with frequent security updates. I later progressed to CGI::Application for an app which ran a business for 12 years before I converted it to Rails. I always thought Mojolicious was a great Perl web framework but unfortunately it landed just as Rails was picking-up steam.
