The ratio is useful, albeit for a slightly different period (pre 5.10.0, rather than several months afterwards). I'm surprised how high 5.6 is. I wonder (but understand that you're unlikely to be able to get them) what the 5.10/5.8/5.6 ratios are now. I wonder how (and where) we could get the download ratio for source. Redirects from perl.org? And whether it's even usefully comparable - it might be that if people download binaries they do it from ActiveState, but if they want to build from source, they go direct to CPAN.
