Sean Blanton will give a talk at YAPC::NA 2012 described as:

Perl has proven itself in our start-up trading strategy in many different areas: system and application administration, networking, data collection, reporting, website and recently analytics with PDL.

For every task, we have evaluated the best tool for the job and decided on Perl because of the wide variety of available **tested** modules, and the ability to share code for very different tasks. Perl’s close relationship with C is a big plus. A set of generic services built up using Moose and Bread::Board has been particularly effective for code reuse. All of this helped reduce implementation time and free resources for other tasks, such as strategic analysis and planning, which in turn helped accelerate revenue growth.
