Hi

How big is the importance of this site for the internet presence of the Perl community?

Let's assume search results are representative...

... so when searching for Perl code, how probable is it that a search result leads me to the monastery?

I have the impression most elaborated search queries ( like any word + " perl code " ) will show at least one link to this monastery among probably perldoc stuff ( http://perldoc.perl.org ), CPAN-Modules (http://cpan.org,http://metacpan.org), competitors (http://stackoverflow.com) and some hijacked "O'Relly" books.

Is there a way to tell from google or DDG statistics?

I think that the importance is even higher then 10%, because many monastery links are often subsumed under one "master" perlmonks link.
