Uhm, s/peaked/changed/ ?

I see more and more IBM systems are coming with administrative programs
written in Perl e.g. PSSP on the Sysplex Parallel systems.

And some of their large users are *heavily* into Perl:  I met a Swiss
guy last year who, when I mentioned Perl, said: "Perl?  the MQ scripting
language?" -- apparently some the major Swiss banks use the Perl/MQ module
written by people at Morgan Stanley -- also heavy users of Perl/MQ/AFS.

This (in spite of|as well as) IBM being a huge Java-booster.
What are other vendors doing?

So I'm *not* looking for a new job yet :-)
