in reply to Re^2: Perl influences?
in thread Perl influences?

Interestingly, we are "unborrowing" that last one in Perl 6, since you can just interpolate a closure instead: "this{$var}that", and curlies were too heavily overloaded in Perl 1..5.

But as to the original question, these days it might be easier to list the languages that Perl doesn't borrow something from... :-)
