Looks like I wasn't the first... (Score:3, Interesting)

Shortly after I wrote that piece I did a Google for perl+yiddish and found this [mit.edu], which predates me by at least two years, and was written by a far more talented Perl hacker [mit.edu] than myself.
On that quotes page there's also a great Larry quote which I think is relevant: "I asked for a camel for various right-brain reasons, not the least of which is that camels are ugly and have an attitude."

I also found a more practical relationship between Perl and Yiddish here [uky.edu].
