Success Story​: $census2000++ (March 20) The United States Constitution requires a complete enumeration of its citizens every ten years. How does the Census Bureau handling this? They use Perl\, of course. Lisa Nyman ( mailto​:lnyman@​census.gov ) offers this tidbit​:

The Bureau has been using perl for web applications\, system administration\, and batch production jobs since the mid 1990s. The Census 2000 Internet Form ( http​://www.2000.census.gov/ ) uses Perl\, as do tasks involved in the first enumeration to use the web. If you have a success story with the use of Perl by a government\, send it to Lisa Nyman!
