| Then you've just made a completely irrelevant comment, on the order
|
|
| of referring to Python 1.2. Perl 5 has been out for more than two
|
|
| years, and there are so many improvements that I don't know of
|
|
| *anyone* who's doing new work in Perl 4.
|
|
|
|
Four and a half, actually; Perl 5.000 was released in October 1994,
|
|
exactly a week after Python 1.1. In fact, Perl 5 has been the current
|
|
version longer than Perl 4 was (Perl 4 was released in March 1991, so
|
|
it was the newest version for only three and a half years).

(References: perlhist manpage, and Misc/HISTORY in the Python source
|
|
distribution.)
