When Dave Cross asked me to write for the Proud to Use Perl, I was unsure if I would be able to. I'm not a native English speaker, and I couldn't think about what to write. The answer was right in front of my eyes all the time: I could write about the Proud To Use Perl website itself. This website is Perl Powered, and I don't have words in any of the four languages I speak to express how proud I am for being part of it.
Movable Type is an amazing piece of Open Source Software, licensed under the version 2 of the GPL. It's maintained by the nice people from Six Apart, with the help of a lot of Perl hackers with Perl skills and blog addiction.
It fills in an important niche of Internet applications in the competitive and highly visible blogging software market. His good quality, easy-to-use, and flexibility makes it a good option for big and small bloggers. Least but bot last, it probably pays the bills for people from Six Apart, or they would have dropped it long ago.
From the user perspective, it's easy to use, with a simple, intuitive and powerful interface. From the administrator point of view, it does The Right Thing(TM), supporting templates and static HTML generation (which scales ad infinitum) among other cool features.
I am proud to say that Proud To Use Perl uses Movable Type, a competitive, high-quality, useful, flexible, and economically viable Perl Application, and a great success among bloggers around the globe.
