Not exactly. What these numbers represent are advertised positions. I
think they're correct to an order of magnitude. Don't you think that
there are more Java jobs than, say, Python jobs, and more Python jobs
than, say, Erlang jobs?

positions in a company advertised with one ad.

To reiterate: you're putting up an elaborate rationalization to
justify that people who are demonstrably idiots are laughing at you,
as if the problem is Perl's.

You have completely misunderstood what I said. The people I mentioned
are not idiots, they're simply ignorant. These people have well
paying, responsible jobs, but the jobs are MANAGEMENT jobs, not
technical or engineering jobs. Typically they have a business degree
with one course in VB and one course in SQL, and they are convinced
that they know everything there is to know about technology. Why?
Because their opinions have been validated again and again by real
world experience. Again, this is managerial and business experience,
not engineering or technical experience. These are bankers and
marketers and insurance executives, not programmers or software
engineers.

(Tuesday, I asked one of these if he was a vi man or an emacs man, and
he looked at me as if I were stark, raving mad. The ONLY IDE he has
ever heard of is Visual Studio.)

Consider, rather, that the problem is
*you*, in that you give far too much credence to the opinion of
idiots.

In the first place, they aren't idiots but middle and uppermid level
managers who have done well in their careers. In the second place, I
evangelize my beliefs, which basically are Perl and Python in a BSD or
Linux server connected to a Postgres or MySQL DB served up by Apache.
