Perl Survey results

One thing I’m learning about life in Vanuatu is that everything moves slowly. Especially bits, up and down to the satellite that provides net access here. My connectivity is graciously provided by CNS, where I have a patch of desk in a corner, and I come in for a few hours each day to work, but I get surprisingly little done.
Well, I’ve just declared it quits on the Perl Survey and published the results as they stand. Which is not to say that they’re incomplete, but just that I’d hoped to have an HTML formatted version to put up alongside the PDF report. Regardless, you can now download:
- Perl Survey 2007 Results, A4 PDF
- Perl Survey 2007 Results, US Letter PDF
(And as an aside, would the US please get their act together and go metric already? If the true beauty of ISO 216 won’t convince them, what will?)
Alongside the official report on the Perl Survey report, there are also a number of third-party analyses, done by people who’ve downloaded the data set and poked at the data already. Both the data set and links to these analyses are available on the results page.
One of my favourite analyses is this one of Portuguese-speaking Perl people. There’s even a great little tool to generate your own reports.
Chris Lansdown’s heat map plots using gnuplot are also really cool:
Please grab the data and do stuff with it. I’ve got a few plans myself, but we’ll have to see how my time’s looking in a couple of weeks, when (hopefully) I’ll have net access at OSDC.
