The most popular Perl web sites

Have you ever wondered which Perl-related sites have the biggest audience?

I checked it now.

Made a couple of groups. The number on the right is the rangking of the specific web site among all the web sites in the world.

Community web sites

Perl based products

Web frameworks

Perl 6 related sites

Personal

The source

It is not an absolute measurement, but Alexa provides some interesting data on web sites. Specifically it provides some estimates on the traffic each site receives.

For most of the domains, Alexa has no listing for the separate sub-domains. So there is no separate ranking of perldoc.perl.org and blogs.perl.org, but within the Alexa listing you can usually see how the visitors are divided between the subdomains.

The sites of blogspot.com and wordpress.com are exceptions. For these sites Alexa understands that each subdomain is a stand-alone site and can provide the traffic data separately.

The future

This is not the first time I have collected these numbers and not the last. I am going to check these numbers every month and update the listing.
