That is a cool observation!
And doesn't Perl have parts of it derived from other languages (er, technically, tools with their own languages) -- sed, awk .. others? Didn't the editing in place flag (-i) come from sed? and also these constructs s/// and y/// ? What about any magical auto-split behavior - wasn't it inherited from awk? As well as a thing like
