Yes, I'm still using 2.x on Linux (and Windows at work).

It might be a interesting exercise for anyone using them to see if any
VMS support for other third party languages and environments is in the
process of being removed or has been proposed for removal.

For example, where does Perl stand in terms of VMS support ?

BTW, is that a purely third party maintained port, or has VMS support
been added back into the mainline Perl codebase ?
