I've used Perl here at Musicmatch and at Qualcomm.  I know that Intel
usese Perl for testing chips and boards.  Mozilla/Netscape uses Perl in
Bugzilla, their bug-tracking database.  Slashdot (which might be a good
forum to post this question to) has been pushing Perl and Apache to it's
limits from the begining.  Activestate has made a (successful?) business
out of supporting/developing Perl.  I know there are several others, and
perhaps a post to Slashdot or Use Perl would be good for some more
information. 

If there is one thing for certain, I have heard numerous people muttering
something about no company promoting Perl like Sun does for Java or like
MS does for .Net.  You will likely find a lot of community support for
this type of action.
