Did I write code for Perl 2? I gave Perl 1 a test drive when it first came out. Heck, you whipper-snappers probably don't even remember Xenix/286, and I ported Perl 2 to that monstrosity! (Ah, four-byte pointers and two-byte ints... those were the bad old days.)

("Tell that to the young people today ... and they won't believe you.")

Oh, and I contributed the System V IPC functions. If you use Perl features named shm*, msg*, or sem*, you have me to blame ^W thank.

I probably could dig up the Perl 2 code I wrote to set up ownerships and permissions after installing a tarball....
