   While these are surprisingly flattering figures for #Perl, they have to be put into perspective.

   GitHub 2013: 3M users, 5M repos
   GitHub 2023: 100M users, 372M repos

   (numbers according to wikipedia)

   Interesting nevertheless.

     Inspired by a 2013 tweet from @garu, I end up querying GitHub for basic #Perl project stats from time to time out of curiosity.

     Here are the data points I have so far:

     - 2013-09-07: ~50k repos, 11 with >500 stars, 2 with >1k stars

     - 2021-11-09: ~133k repos, 129 with >500 stars, 56 with >1k stars

     - 2023-11-11: ~125k repos, 156 with >500 stars, 74 with >1k stars

     The query used is like `language:Perl stars:>500`

     Sharing in hopes others find it interesting.
