[PLUG] History of Perl

["Nicolai Rosen" <laktar@hotmail.com>]

Interesting little coincidental publishing afoot. Here's a bit of the 
history of Perl straight from the camel's mouth. And Larry Wall's unusally 
coherent in this piece. I found it quite readible. Not the usual 
over-esoteric babble his writing resembles (oh, and that reminds me of 
another difference between perl and python if whoever was trying to decide 
between the two is still listening. Everybody involved in perl is insane. 
Certifiable. I'm not saying that this is a bad thing. Or a good thing. I'm 
just calling it as I see it):
