Pulled up Wikipedia today and saw that today was the day in 1987 that Larry Wall first released perl. Many happy returns, perl.

Happy 18th Birthday Perl! Where I live, that makes you old enough to drive, vote, and get drunk. Previous PM Perl birthday greetings: Happy Birthday, perl1 Happy Birthday Perl, 15 today. Happy Birthday Perl! It seems Perl's 17th birthday was forgotten here at the monastery.	[reply]

According to this announcement of the birth of Geneva Wall, Perl was 3 months old on May 12 1987. We might therefore celebrate two Perl birthdays: Perl 1.0 on 18th December 1987, and Perl 0.0 on 12th February 1987. (BTW, Geneva Wall has since grown up and nowadays designs "hacker-safe" mirrors).

Geneva Wall has since grown up and nowadays designs "hacker-safe" mirrors strikingly hilarious! ++ And they test their product daily, too. Cheers, Sören	[reply]
