Perl Survey is Live!

Perl: solving your problems since 1987

From: Kieren Diment

The Perl Survey 2010 is now live. Its purpose is to better understand the demographics and opinions of the Perl community. You can complete the survey at http://survey.perlfoundation.org - it should take about 10 to 15 minutes.

Once you've done that, please let your relevant friends and colleagues know about the survey so they can complete it as well. My aim is to get a response of over 1000 individuals, and to run the survey (lightly adapted) every two or three years so we can see how the community changes over time. The official announcement of the survey is here:

My notes:
  1. This is a well put together survey that looks like it has a good methodology, not just a survey-monkey one-off. It'll take a good 15-20 minutes.
  2. captcha required (boo)
  3. The survey is a bit clever with jscript/html and prevented me from filling it out on my iphone browser.
