  It's used for a lot more than database applications.  It's a scripting
language that can be used for just about anything.  It's fast, easy to
learn, and very flexible.  It's great when you want to do something
that "ordinary" people might do with Perl/CGI, but you don't want the
horrid slowness and general shittiness of Perl to get in the way. :)
