Larry Wall began work on Perl in 1987, while working as a programmer at Unisys,8 and released version 1.0 to the comp.sources.misc newsgroup on December 18, 1987. Perl 2, released in 1988, featured a better regular expression engine. Perl 3, released in 1989, added support for binary data streams. Perl 5.000 was released on October 17, 1994.

The defining component of Linux is the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released 5 October 1991 by Linus Torvalds. In March 1994 Torvalds judges all components of the kernel to be fully matured: he releases version 1.0 of Linux. The XFree86 project contributes a graphic user interface (GUI). In this year the companies Red Hat and SUSE publish version 1.0 of their Linux distributions.

Sorry, Perl was not born in Linux, Perl was born before Linux. Stay bigoted, but at least have the dates right.

Enoch was right!
