[comp.lang.perl] camel and history

ram@shukra.Eng.Sun.COM (Renu Raman) (03/08/91)

Ok, I got my book - why a camel - does it signify how slow this 
beast perl will become as we keep adding features :-?

And BTW, how come there is not much in terms of history of perl
came into existence - it would have been nice to have that documented
in the book alongwith how to ftp and uucp!!!!

I love the literary style - doesn't put you to sleep that quickly

More history than pages 376-377 cover?  Or did you not find that yet?
