Perl customers by country
Based on country-code domains (such as .de or .co.uk); websites on .com and other generic domains are not assigned a country.
TechLeads scans public websites and detects Perl from signals in the page HTML, scripts, cookies, HTTP headers and DNS records. Market share is Perl's website count divided by the website counts of all Programming languages technologies we track; a site using two Programming languages tools counts for both. Counts were last refreshed on October 8, 2026 and update daily.
