Perl Success Stories Sought

Do you have a Perl success story that you'd like to share? What I'm trying to do is to promote the use of, and add legitimacy to, Perl. Publishing user testimonials is an excellent way to do this. If you want to send me your story, it would be great if you could include some of the following:

*Some background: Any information you think is particularly interesting about your company, its business and your role in it.

*A rough idea of how many users your Perl applications serve.

*The history of your use of Perl, whether you used it from the start or switched from another language.

*Some characteristics of Perl that make it right for your needs (why did you finally choose Perl, were there concerns about it being open source vs. proprietary, etc.)

*The name and function of a particular Perl application you use or have developed.

*Last but not least, some glowing comments on how much time/money/pain Perl has saved you.

If you think you might be interested in participating in this project, please let me know. I can be reached at: betsy@oreilly.com
