The great god Larry existed before Perl did. He had a vision of a language and scripted for it before it existed(i.e. the very first script existed in the mind of the great god Larry)! That language was Perl. My point was The (first) Script existed in the scriptors(i.e. the language creators) mind before the script engine gets programmed and without a scriptengine the script don't exist bugfree i.e. it is no script until it is run! By having a vision the scriptor exists before the script in itself. Am I correct?
