Information
The mission of this site is to archive anything that may be of interest to the culture of the Perl programming language. Its beginnings are humble, but eventually it should be a place where those with interest may come to wade into that which makes the language so much fun: The people of Perl.
If you see any errors, omissions, have comments or would like to contribute a tidbit for this ongoing mission, email perlhist@history.perl.org
