DaWolf has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Greetings.

I've read on O'Reilly's History of Programming Languages that Perl derives from nawk and sh.

I know that this may sound a little too simple, but I'd like to check if this information is accurate, since I'd like to include this in a course material I'm producing.

Thanks in advance,
