Sally,
Perl is a very powerfull and robust language, and it can be used in almost
anyway other languages like Java and Cold Fusion. You can Create and
manipulate Databases, interface with XML, send Email, the possibilities
are endless.
Here is a nice paper on the topic:

However, if you'd like a more specific answer, just ask a more specific
question.
