Google search "perl programming", 644,000 hits. Google search "java programming", 1,300,000 hits. Google search ".net programming", 610,000 hits. Upon first examination that isn't good - but wait! Now actually take a look through the first 30 or so hits from each search.

What I see for Perl is solid indepth resources, that are well trafficed and well developed. Large amounts of information that obviously have many people using them. What you see for the others are either (A) corporate backed sites (Sun, Microsoft) or (B) quieter sites, that don't have nearly as much traffic.
