I am old and a nerd and I don’t see Perl on here.

Wait… is it the tiny camel at the bottom?

Yep. It has no logo of its own, so it sometimes gets identified by the animal on the O'Reilly book

perl logo is just the infopop ultimate bulletin board logo.

Perl.org now has a stylised camel emblem

CPAN.org doesn't use a camel

OCaml has a camel with two bumps. So, that's gotta be the Perl dromedary camel...

Yes, it appears it is. I thought it was Apache Camel but I was corrected as per the hump count.
