    I learned perl to make IRC bots and to customize bulletin boards in the late 90s, early aughts.

    I owe a lot to that language as it impressed a woman with my skills in it. I got my first marriage and eldest son out of it.

      Let’s not forget the small detail that you eventually had to sacrifice that same eldest son to Perl.
