What type of question this is? Does it matter with your programming skills? I think no.

Is this a trivial question? as programmer, I never studied the history of languages that I use.

I'm into using the language and not learning the history. I don't even care who made those. All I know is that they provided a tool for us to use.

if u are a true programmer than the history doesn't mean for you caz u are concentrate only on the codeing and perl is very old and first web develpoing languase.
