NBCi Accesses and Maintains Complex Databases With Perl

Overview Wrangling the enormous amount of information stored in NBCi's databases is easy with Perl. Perl was already an important component in the company's operations when the NBCi site was formed by merging Xoom.com, Snap.com, and the online division of NBC. When the company started out with Xoom.com, Perl was heavily used for most database applications, CGI, and wherever else it made sense under time constraints. NBCi uses Perl because Perl is an open source programming language.
