I'm not affiliated with [0]jobs.perl.org, and this is only the simplest
of analyses. I didn't try to correct for duplicate posts where the same
job was re-advertised. [1]jobs.perl.org has their own stats, although
[2]Dave Rolsky seemed to think my numbers might be better. I don't know
if I believe him. :)

I don't attempt to draw any conclusions about the popularity (up or down)
of Perl from these numbers. In general, I think that the continual
uptrend is more about people finding out about the free service than the
same market having more jobs.

I made [3]this same report in 2006 too, and there are some interesting
links in the comments. Also interesting is [4]renodino's graphs about
jobs on Dice and the [5]code he wrote to make them, along with the
discussion about the usefulness of any conclusions.
