Yep, I know of one company still actively using Perl for a large part of its infrastructure. It has its use cases.


One that is definitely still using Perl in a very big way is https://www.ariba.com/

Ariba isn't a household name, but it has deep and widespread connections to thousands of the largest companies in the world.


Are they named after a very large tropical rainforest?


Booking.com?


Nope :)
