I don't know where you get your information, but I can assure you that
the last development project *we* did here was 99.44% Ada (see my
posting on RPCs).  MITRE is a big place, and I'm sure there are people
doing things in PERL.  But I know of no major system (e.g. AWACS,
Joint STARS, SDI) using PERL.
