Question

This non-English language was used by Sharon Hopkins Rauenzahn to write a poem that notes “keys [hidden], open [locks, doors], tell secrets” and pleads “do not, I-beg-you, close them, yet.” An anonymous poem that directs the reader to “open spellbook” and outlines a sacrifice-based ritual is titled for a “Black” version of this language. This language looks like “checksummed line (15[1])noise with a mission in life” according to Randal “merlyn” Schwarz, who co-founded a group of its (*) “mongers.” This language was created to fill a gap between “whipupitude” and “manipulexity” by the developer of the rn (“R-N”) client and the patch program. In 2019, its sixth version was renamed “Raku.” “There’s more than (10[1])one way to do it” is a slogan of, for 10 points, what programming language created by Larry Wall, (-5[1])which may be used for “practical extraction and reporting”? (10[1])■END■ (10[5]0[5])

ANSWER: Perl [accept “Black Perl” or Perl Mongers or Perl 6; accept Raku before “Raku”]
