I think there would be value in compiling a list of companies that are
'proud to use perl' (to borrow a website name).  These companies are
actually willing to put their name next to Perl, rather than tucking it
away in their back-end support utilities, and that's worth far more to
us than a list of companies who don't even acknowledge the existence of
Perl (other than accidentally, in a URL for instance).

The London.pm list is here:
http://london.pm.org/advocacy/

A global version might be a good resource for this list to work on.  I'd
be happy to host one on the Perl Is Alive server, but obviously it would
have more credibility if it were hosted on perl.org (or .com?)
