hehe I'm twisted then. In 1999 and 2000 I was paid to write and maintain a game server written in perl. Mind you, the game in question had very limited interaction between the players, and the coms was very sporadic so it didnt matter.

And we had lashings of RAM, so the entire perl executable and associated libraries fitted in RAM, and were flagged sticky.

And the perl in question was very wierd - lots of ties so it ran fast. was a horror to maintain and I wrote it.

seriously though, perl is a great language for prototyping, the biggest catch is finding nice libraries with all the things you get used to abusing in perl when you get around to porting it to C/C++/Fortran/(compiled language of choice)
