First released in 1987 and distributed under GPL v2, the language turned static pages into applications, running the form handlers, mailers, counters and catalogues of the first commercial web. Most of that generation has been rewritten. A surprising amount of it has not. As of October 2026 we detect Perl on 226,605 sites, and the number deserves a caveat before it deserves an interpretation. A server side language is only visible when it leaks, through a script suffix in a URL, a header naming the interpreter, a generator string or an error page. Sites that route requests through a modern front end or strip identifying headers vanish from the count entirely, so the figure is a lower bound on a population that is genuinely hard to measure from outside. What does survive detection skews towards the older and less curated end of the web, which happens to be the part worth finding if you are looking for systems due for replacement. Version data sharpens the picture. We record 72 distinct releases in circulation, and the release we see most often is 5.26.3. A spread that wide across one interpreter is not the signature of active development. The pattern is what you get when a language is embedded in operating system images and left at whatever version the distribution shipped, upgraded only when the underlying host is rebuilt from scratch. A modal release several years behind current maintenance is exactly what that lifecycle produces. Geography tells a similar story. The country column puts Germany at 97,736 sites, a concentration heavy enough to be worth explaining rather than ignoring, and it points at a long tail of shared hosting and small business sites that were built once and then simply kept running. The suffix column is concentrated in .com, which suggests the population is not confined to one national hosting culture even where one country supplies a lot of it. The commercial reading is straightforward. A domain still running the interpreter today is rarely a greenfield project. More often the site is maintained legacy work, an internal system exposed to the public, a booking or membership application written for a business that still depends on it, a university department page, a hosting control panel. Everyone selling migration services, hosting consolidation, security auditing or replacement software wants that population, and so does anyone researching how long software actually stays in service after the industry has moved on. A per domain lookup cannot produce any of that. Asking about one address tells you what one company runs, which is useful when you already have a target and useless when the target is the thing you are trying to find. The downloadable extract inverts the question. It hands over the whole detected population with version, country, suffix and co installed software on every row, so the segment can be filtered down to the exact configuration you can sell to or study, rather than sampled one guess at a time. ## Frequently asked questions How many websites use Perl? webatla detects Perl on 227K websites, refreshed daily, each with its domain, DNS, WHOIS, IP, country and ranking. Can I download the list of websites using Perl? Yes, as structured JSONL. Grab a free sample first. What's included for each site, and how fresh is it? Domain, DNS, RDAP/WHOIS, the full technology stack, IP & country, PageRank and Harmonic, re-detected and re-exported daily. How do I find the websites using Perl? Buy the technology dataset, then download the complete list of domains we detect using Perl, re-exported every day. What else is in the Perl technology data? Each row places Perl next to the other technology on the same site, plus DNS, WHOIS, IP, country and ranking. Can I download just the sites using Perl, or the whole database? Both. Every site running Perl comes in the Technologies dataset, one downloadable file. Or buy All data for the entire database: technologies plus identity, ranking, DNS and RDAP/WHOIS for every domain, combined in one file. Daily fresh export. How do I download the list of websites using Perl? Three steps: (1) grab the free 10,000-row sample to inspect the schema, (2) buy the Technologies dataset, (3) download the full list of every domain we detect running Perl as a JSON Lines file. It is re-exported daily, so you can re-download the freshest list any time inside your access window. Each row carries the domain plus DNS, WHOIS, IP, hosting country and rank. ## Get the full list of websites using Perl Pick the dataset that covers what you need.
