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.
