Click on "Analysieren". You'll get project inquiries, project inquiries by German zipcode region, "Prozentuale Verteilung der Stundensätze" (percentage distribution of hourly rates), some others of less interest, and at the end age distributions for the two keywords and over all freelancers at Gulp and all project inquiries at Gulp. Makes me feel old. I'm 48... If you don't want to do that, the hourly rates are: Web 72,22 EUR Perl 69,29 EUR All Freelancers 72,72 EUR All Inquiries 75,25 EUR 1 EUR = 0.9860 US$. The UK site says the going rate overall is 19 Pounds. That is 30 EUR or US$. No wonder I'm meeting lots of British people when I visit clients.
