  Really? Looks like "php developer" overtook "perl developer" back in October 06 and grew strongly during summer '07:

  PHP is a more of a niche language so I was ignoring it.

    Really. The ratio between Perl and PHP is closer than the one between, say, Perl and Python.
    
    And while you're right that PHP aims for a niche, it is a niche that Perl used to dominate, and lots of Perl people are still in. A "niche" that is bigger than Perl is a niche that Perl shouldn't sneer at.
