Perforce is owned by two private equity companies. The ownership is split 50-50 between Clearlake Capital and Francisco Partners. It looks like PEs invest in Perforce and use them to acquire smaller companies in the dev tools area. Perforce owns Selenium and RogueWave Software. I wouldn't be surprised if they become a public company at some point so the PE can cash on their investment.
