I have noticed that description of the 'perl' package is:
"Perl 5 is a highly capable, feature-rich programming language with over
24 years of development."
Mentioning 24 years seems strange to me. Well, of course, "over 24
years" will always be correct (as well as "over 1 year"), but still :-)

Yeah, and now it's “over 30 years of developemnt”: http://www.perl.org/
I went ahead and change it to the description statement from
‘perlintro’.
Thanks!
