I believe your statistic draw the wrong conclusion as well.
>From what I saw you don't make any notice to what the languages are
commonly used for.
(this list maybe wrong, or a little off)
PHP is primarily a web language.
Java is primarily used for user interfaces on websites and gui.
Perl is both web language and console, but usually not gui interface.
C++ and C are completely general in their scope, however usually
aren't used for web
Python is also quite general, save the purpose of including it in
other programs (like inside C/C++ programs)
As said before Ruby is growing popularity, I believe it is also
general.
Lua isn't mentioned either, its purpose is almost exclusively for
inclusion in programs
If your statistics were based on types of usage, they may mean more
