First of all, I am not going against your statement... but I am going against your logic.

You had about 170 non-anon on a lazy Sunday, so Perl is not dead. Okay what did you compare against? According to many people's standard, you can only claim Perl as alive if you got 200 non-anon. Obviously I made the standard up, but my point is where did you get your standard?

As many others have said many times in the past, Perl is not dead, but dying.

On the other hand... Wait for 2 years, when more applications get converted from Perl to something else, you probably will get 1000 non-anon on a very lazy Sunday, because everyone is trying to learn some Perl, so that they know what each line means, so they know what to convert to.

Good night and good luck!
