Craigslist Charitable Fund Donates $100,000 to the Perl Foundation – A few weeks ago, I caught a link to a site that claims Perl is only being used on 1% of the top n-something Web sites. While I’m fairly confident Perl usage is down from its peak in the early 2000s, I’m very skeptical that it’s quite that low. At the very least, though, Craigslist seems pretty interested in the future of Perl – kicking up $100,000 to support the Perl Foundation.
