I wonder if Perl's age disproportionately skews the pay data. My thinking is that most Perl developers are mid- to senior-level engineers due to younger developers primarily using languages like Python or ruby. This heteroskedasticity would make using averages (and by definition also variance and standard deviation) ineffective, and require some correction to more accurately determine the true Perl developer pay distribution.

Most decidedly not a Perl guru

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
