With regards to the number of Perl Monks out there, you might find Monk Stats very interesting.

With regards to "Perl user", that very much depends on the definition. I've been led to understand that even Windows has a Perl executor somwhere under the hood to do some installation stuff. That would make it a lot of Perl users out there.

On the other end of the spectrum would of course be people who make a living programming in Perl on a daily basis. Personally, I would think there are at least 10's of thousands out there. But that's just a guess, based on the amount of books published about Perl and estimating what the break even point of a published book is.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
