I may be very much misremembering this, but I think that Perl 3 might
exist for V7. I have very vague memories of bring up V7 in SimH and
noted that a perl binary existed there.... but it might have been 2.x
BSD...(this is actually the most likely) or something else in SimH. All
of the history says Perl 1 was created in late 1987, so V7 certainly
would have been around and I wouldn't be suprised that someone attempted
to port it. I could not find which OS Perl was an initial target for
and I didn't want to grovel though the old Usenet posts.
