The U.S. Census Bureau has done some interesting work with Perl: http://perl.oreilly.com/pub/a/oreilly/perl/news/census_0101.html This is from O'Reilly's "Perl Success Stories" page, where you may find some other useful items: http://perl.oreilly.com/pub/a/oreilly/perl/news/success_stories.html There's also a mailing list, [EMAIL PROTECTED], "for the discussion of perl and other open source software in use in government." It doesn't look very active, but you may get more information from the folks that are subscribed to the list. Sign up via [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bill Odom
