Keep bugging me about this, and maybe we can ask users to voluntarily
register their use of Perl. It's not going to happen this month, though.
But it might be worth a try. Perhaps the size of the vmsperl mailing
list might give you a hint (i.e., not a whole lot compared to 1/2
million installed base of VMS systems, IIRC)

Of course, now that Compaq/Hpaq is distributing a version of vms perl,
perhaps I'm being overly pessimistic...

Subject: "market penetration" of VMS Perl


Anybody care to venture a guess as to what percentage of [Alpha] VMS
sites today have Perl installed?  There isn't any way to get information
on this, at better than guessing level, is there?  

Thanks.
