What companies use or ship Perl?
What companies use or ship Perl?
At this time, the known list of companies that ship Perl includes at
least the following, although some have snuck it into /usr/contrib
or its moral equivalent:
BSDI
Comdisco Systems
CONVEX Computer Corporation
Crosspoint Solutions
Dell
DRD Corporation
Intergraph
Kubota Pacific
Netlabs
Univel
Furthermore, the following vendors are reported to begin shipping perl
standard with their systems in the very near future:
Sun
SGI
Some companies ship it on their "User Contributed Software Tape",
such as DEC and HP. Apple Computer has shipped the MPW version of
Macintosh Perl on one of their Developer CDs (Essentials*Tools*Objects
#11) (and they included it under "Essentials" :-)
Many other companies use Perl internally for purposes of tools
development, systems administration, installation scripts, and test
suites. Rumor has it that the large workstation vendors (the TLA set)
are seriously looking into shipping Perl with their standard systems
"soon".
People with support contracts with their vendors are actively
encouraged to submit enhancement requests that Perl be shipped
as part of their standard system. It would, at the very least,
reduce the FTP load on the Internet. :-)
If you know of any others, please send them in.
