Can anyone recommend me links or other information sources about Perl as &lt;i&gt;language&lt;/i&gt;, in the broader context of languages other than just computer languages?
&lt;p&gt;
Larry's piece on &lt;a href="http://www.wall.org/~larry/natural.html"&gt;Natural Language Principles in Perl&lt;/a&gt; would be an example of course.
&lt;p&gt;
Perl, for instance, has pronouns: &lt;code&gt;$_&lt;/code&gt; is essentially "it". That kind of thing.
&lt;p&gt;
TIA

Nobody says perl looks like line-noise any more&lt;br&gt;
kids today don't know what line-noise IS ...
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
