Calling it "extremely revisionist" is absurdly generous even. Calling it "one of the first" programming languages is just flat-out wrong. Lots of other languages were around for many years or even decades before: COBOL, FORTRAN, Pascal, C, Algol, LISP, just to name a few. The idea that Perl is "one of the first" is just plain insane.
