Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello,

Just curious - which apps do you know (commercial or not) that embed perl interpreter (either for scriptability or for implementation of business logic - while the shell is implemented in C/C++)?
I'm considering to follow this route too, but would like to see whether there are any non-custom apps at all out there.
Please include the OS that app runs on (I'm unix fan, but I have to implement an app for win and probably osx/cocoa too).

Thanks in advance!

    I don't know what the core of ClearCase is, but it includes a Perl interpreter to run plugins.

    Well, there is vim, of course :-)
    You select amongst 4 (Perl, and some others :-) languages to be embedded into Vim itself.
