I would be inclined to take the view that the answer is 'no', unless someone can prove otherwise. But colleges are huge places and it is more likely that the best teaching can be found in some specialist department that has a more practical bias than within the ivory tower of computer science. Take the Stanford example someone raised. I would wager that their http://ccrma.stanford.edu/ is liable to be more advanced and practical than the CS dept. - they even built their own linux kernel to support their multimedia-specific work and this example facility is part of the music department, so would need to be addressed via a combined honours in music and computer science and would only be justified by a joint interest in the subjects. Only a handful of their applications will be written in perl, but at least you can be sure that their projects will be more apt to have chosen languages based on practical rather than academic considerations.
