I don't have updated numbers, but for the period of January-May 2007 there have been an average of 1000 Perl 5.6 and 4500 Perl 5.8 downloads per day of the Windows binaries from the ActiveState download servers. The relative percentage was the same for Linux and Solaris, but with lower absolute numbers. I only got those numbers because the Komodo group was doing some download stat analysis, so it isn't trivial for me to get more up-to- date numbers (and they may not be representative for people trying to compile Perl themselves anyways).
