    Interestingly, you get different results when you change the order of the terms (perl, php). The relative number of queries remains similar, but the countries change; in particular, some countries show more queries about Perl than PHP.

    The good news is that, when I put COBOL and perl together, perl showed a decisive win.

    If you add Java there, then PHP becomes lower than 50%, and Perl becomes almost nothing.

    If you put perl, python and ruby together. Perl started higher, but shows a clear downward trend, when ruby and python are stable. Now the gap is almost gone.
