use Perl | Happy 20th Birthday to Perl

On December 18, 1987, Larry Wall released Perl 1 to the public. That means today is the end of Perl’s 20th year. On Perl’s 16th birthday, Richard Clamp gave us Perl 1. Rumor has it that this birthday, Perl5Porters is giving us Perl 5.10, the best Perl 5 yet.

And it’s given me work for nearly a decade now.  Thank goodness for Perl.  I can’t imagine being a professional SmallTalk programmer. ;-)
