I don't know... I've only read that Larry Wall wanted a better way for working with Sed and Awk than was available. Much is not easily accessible from before ~1992 when Larry Wall open sourced perl.

The perl source has been available since Larry released perl 1.0 back in 88. You can find this out, look at the source, and discover many other interesting Perl facts, at http://history.perl.org/.

    All I can say in my defense now, is that I relied on a faulty source for my perl history.
