Says Perl still has a slight lead over other SLWAMB (Scripting Languages
Without A Marketing Budget), but 

http://www.google.com/trends?q=java%2C+c%23%2C+perl%2C+c%2B%2B%2FCLI&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all

says Perl's about the level of C# in the commercial field.  I presume
this means that search.cpan.org, perlmonks.org, perl.com make Google
searches un-necessary.

Anyway, enough time wasted at Google Trends: I've got three business-
critical apps to extend, a class B network to scan and record in a DBMS
and some LDAP wrangling to do.

All in Perl, of course.
