Still, it's not a company attempting to rule all markets.

There are Unix/Linux flavors and products like Git partly depending on Perl, you need a minimum expertise in house.

Of course this also applies to others, which try to outsource these needs to contractors abroad for dumping prices.

Heard stories like this from one IBM department, which has a big mail-processing code base in Perl.

But that's a very dangerous strategy IMHO.
