exeter1201 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Is there any read on how many developers there are in the Perl community? Are we talking 10,000? 100,000? ? I did see a number a while ago, but for the life of me, I can't find it that I need it again. - Mike

      I think there are hundreds millions of Perl users ! They just don't know all that CGI is mostly Perl! (or do they mean developers ? ;-)

      Q: Why did the Perlmonk cross the road?
      A: He wanted to escape the match.
