[Bangalore-pm] India in 2007 Perl survey

[Shantanu Bhadoria]

I highly doubt the survey,
There are a hell of a lot more Japanese CPAN Authors than Indian ones in
Asia. If anything look at Acme::CPANAuthors::India and
Acme::CPANAuthors::Japanese, looks like they had a particularly skewed data
set there. Results of online surveys like these can be quiet skewed
depending on which country or demographic a survey is promoted in.
