It changed the meaning of the term “high-level language” forever.

     Well ... glad to see my opinion of Perl is
   not unique  :-)
    Way back I bought the usual "Learn Perl" book with
   the camel on the front. About two chapters in I
   said "WHY ???".
 

I just saw the type of people who created enormous scripts in it, and thought 'total wankers' They typically read instruction manuals as a hobby...
If a script gets that big it should be in a different language altogether.
It reminds me of a cartoon picture of a nerd saying 'I use a Unix based operating system. My computers crash about as often as I get laid'
