That's web apps, batch processing systems and a whole array of command line tools. My new boss (as of a few months ago) was somewhat startled by the scale of the systems we have built using perl. I get the impression that the people who discover it generally grow to love it, but it's not the cool kid on the block anymore so fewer people will come across it. Having said this, the perl community seems very much alive and well. I just wish there was some way to move onto Perl 6, if only because a big version number would create some new buzz around perl which would be great.
