@Perl Happy 36th #birthday to the #Perl #programming language!

v1.0 then:
“Perl is kind of designed to make #awk and #sed semi-obsolete […] The language is intended to be practical (easy to use, efficient, complete) rather than beautiful (tiny, elegant, minimal).” https://github.com/Perl/perl5/releases/tag/perl-1.0

v5.38.2 now:
“Perl is […] now used for a wide range of tasks including #SysAdmin, #WebDev, network programming, #GUI development, and more.” https://perldoc.perl.org/perlintro#What-is-Perl%3F
