quote "In case you’re wondering: the big ones are 5.8.8, 5.10.1, 5.14.2 and 5.16.2."

If I'm not wrong does this chart indicate that more than 50% of the users are on versions <=14.2.

Please explain...

This stats are a brilliant source! thanks.

But I think it would be even more interesting to get them from activestate too.*

My colleagues "never" used cpan before and never heard of cpanm.

Others might only use system Perl and their local package manager.

I think it's a bit like polling for the average age of defloration - but only in a monastery. It's of limited use for the whole population.

*) hmm ... there was a talk at YAPC::NA-2016 from an ActiveState guy ... -> ah here
