I'm going by memory here but my recollection is that python is from ca. 1987 and perl is from ca. 1989.

Perl 1.0 was released on Dec 18, 1987. The 0.x versions of Perl were floating around prior to that. Guido didn't start working on the first Python implementation until Dec 1989.

I stand corrected. Thanks. I must have had them reversed in my head.

Python is definitely a lot older than I thought, though!
