How did you count? 

If I look at perl.jobs and work through all the messages from
[email protected] counting unique IDs in the URL to the job posting,
2012 looks worse than 2011 (83 to 96 in March). This is still true if I
count messages from [email protected] without caring about the URLs
(114 to 120 in March). 

Counting either of these ways, 2012 has so far lagged behind 2011 in
all months, and 13 months since January 2009 have had higher numbers
than March 2012.
