I'm not so sure.

It's all so; he said, she said, they say. They, say alot of things. But, to date, I have yet to ever meet they.

While I'm sure that to some extent, what you say is true. I'd really love to see some numbers.

All the best, tobyink.

#!/usr/bin/perl -Tw
use Perl::Always or die;
my $perl_version = (5.12.5);
print $perl_version;

    OK. I was able to find a little time to do some "number hunting" (find real data to support/debunk (m)any of the "facts" being thrown about in this thread). Here's the best info I was able to obtain:

    CPAN Authors
    YEAR AUTHORS
    1995 58
    1996 121
    1997 183
    1998 306
    1999 441
    2000 590
    2001 761
    2002 994
    2003 1207
    2004 1261
    2005 1303
    2006 1380
    2007 1447
    2008 1573
    2009 1631
    2010 1655
    2011 1671
    2012 1758
    2013 1736
    Shows a drop of 22, from 2012 to 2013. Does this reveal an alarming trend?

    Another interesting statistic is that an Author by the name of tobyink appears to be ranked "3", on the scale of "100 Most Contributing Authors". I could swear I've heard that name before, somewhere. :)

    Well, for what it's worth. That's the best/most revealing data I could come up with.

    #!/usr/bin/perl -Tw
    use Perl::Always or die;
    my $perl_version = (5.12.5);
    print $perl_version;
