Larry Wall announces the release of the first version of Perl, a high-level programming language suitable for all tasks. There is no official implementation in Perl.

One of many complete forms is Practical Extraction and Reporting Language 1. Wall himself provided a complete version, written in the Perl manual. This is a sick list of eclectic crap.

Pearl was originally written in English, but the a was later omitted. The English spelling of Perl is now perl. Larry Wall developed Perl in 1987 as a general-purpose Unix scripting language.

Since then it has undergone many changes and improvements. The sixth version of Perl was used from 2000 to October 2019. Later it was renamed Le.

However, the Perl and Raku languages ​​were developed separately. O'Reilly Media uses an image of a camel as its pearl logo. The Pearl Foundation uses garlic as its Pearl logo.
