we're a benchmark!

http://www.spec.org/auto/cpu2006/Docs/400.perlbench.html

  400.perlbench SPEC CPU2006 Benchmark Description:

  The primary component of the [benchmark] workload is the Open Source spam
  checking software SpamAssassin. SpamAssassin is used to score a couple of
  known corpora of both spam and ham (non-spam), as well as a sampling of
  mail generated from a set of random components. SpamAssassin has been
  heavily patched to avoid doing file I/O, and currently (8/31/2004) does
  not use the Bayesian filtering.

Indeed. What other large, popular, headless, and easily-acquired Perl 
applications exist? (I'd guess most other large Perl apps are web-based and 
hence wouldn't be suitable.)
