Nowadays - I heard - it is the 20th birthday of Perl.

So...
I'm preparing a lecture about the history of Perl.
I want to have a code in Perl 0 or Perl 1.0 and to compare it to a code in Perl of our days.
Does somebody have a Perl code from those early days?
Is there something I can compare to our days?
