Not sure this is worth replying to, but let's see:
- Perl 5
- Idea about what Perl 5 should be, based on Perl 4: 1990-1991? (Perl 4.000 released in 1991)
- First working, usable compiler: Oct 1994 (5.000)
- "Classic" Perl, robust and mature implementation: Mar 2000 (5.6, Camel Book 3rd ed)
- Major revival, Modern Perl: May 2011 (5.14, Camel Book 4th ed)
- Perl 6
- Idea about what Perl 6 should be, based on Perl 5: ~2000
- Proof of concept prototypes for compilers: 2005-2010
- First working, usable compiler: Dec 2015 (Rakudo 1.0/spec v6.c)
- Robust and mature implementation: ??? (whoops, we're not there yet; it took Perl 5 almost six years)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
