A couple of others to add to your list:
- O'Reilly employ
Nat Torkington, Jon Orwant and Larry Wall
- SlashDot employs
Chris Nandor (MacPerl pumpking)
And a few updates to your list:
- Brian Ingerson hasn't worked for ActiveState since
last summer
- I think japhy left RiskMetrics to go back to
school
- The Canon Research Centre is in Guildford, not
London
Update: Oh, and also the list of Stonehenge
instructors rather implies it's not a
one-man shop :)

<Morgan Stanley> were going to buy Damian
outright, but their offer was rejected by Yet
Another Society for some reason.
The reason was that YAS felt it was important that at least
some of my sponsorship come from "grassroots" donations, so as to give the entire community a sense of proprietorship in the experiment.
Nevertheless Morgan Stanley were a major sponsor of my work this year. I've been very grateful both for their support (especially that of Phil Moore, Merijn Broeren, and Hildo Biersma) and for the several opportunities I've had to interact with the large number of seriously clueful people they have working there. | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |

I can vouch for Morgan Stanley Dean Witter's involvement. I befriended Phil Moore from MSDW at OSCON this year. He was very interested in the young Perl talent (he took me and Michel Lambert (of Rebug fame)) to dinner with a large group of other people. And then there was that convertible... mmm...
I should get in contact with him again. ;)

I'll second that - I've worked with Phil (and others at MS) to improve both sybperl and DBD::Sybase.

Just a small correction:
sybperl isn't by Sybase, it's by mpeppler. | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |

Great Node. I suggest adding The Federal Reserve. Oreilly mentioned them in their perl success stories booklet (Can't find the link.) There's something cool about modelling the economy with perl
I always wanted to be somebody... I guess I should have been more specific. | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |

I'm working for Advanis, and
while I can't say that it's done as much for the Perl
community as, say, Activestate, I have gotten a
few orders of magnitude better at Perl since I started
here. Probably 60% to 75% of our work is Perlish, and
it's a great environment for learning.
(And no, they're not paying me for this plug. Sad;
I could use a new video card. :-)

You may have heard of Jan Dubois of Win32::OLE fame, too. Jan has been sighted at ActiveState.
Disclaimer: I have no connection to ActiveState other than via PPM - I am just another satisfied user ;.).

Regarding Evolution -- many thanks for including us in this list, but as of two weeks ago, the company has officially gone belly-up. It's sad to see it go, after seven years of Perl web development, but it was fun while it lasted. I'm now making the transition to being a one-man shop. | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |
