in thread Death and Return of TIMTOWTDI

Much is not easily accessible from before ~1992 when Larry Wall open sourced perl.
I was using perl in 1990, back when Open Source was called "freeware", and that was perl 3.0xx. See perldoc perlhist for more details...

    Well, good to see perl has an official history document. Generally with anything to do with computer history, there is a lot of confusion that reigns by people who think they know it, and really not know it.

    I've had quite a few arguments in computer history. I guess it was kind of daft to mention some of it in this thread, and not expect the arguments to appear here.
