Perl is Sweet Sixteen

Posted by michael on from the jailbait dept.

surflorida writes "Perl turned sweet 16 yesterday. 'Larry Wall released Perl 1 on this day in 1987, so today Perl is 16 years old. Happy birthday Perl! You can read more about the timeline of Perl releases in perlhist.pod and at history.perl.org.' Happy birthday Perl! You are now old enough to get a US drivers license."

    This is what the folks who actually write this thing think of the "unwashed masses" who post here. I especially liked this quote:

    Slashdot's comments are next to worthless. It's mostly a bunch of cows following the ass in front of them

    A keeper!

    You can read more about the timeline of Perl releases in perlhist.pod and at history.perl.org.'

    If you are a normal person, then you cannot read a thing if it's written on Perl. Unless your brains are already too damaged.
