The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium announced the winning name for its new python last week: Hanna.

A common statement is that “Perl 6 is not Perl”, and it’s largely true, except in name. Unlike Python, though, there is no community consensus that Perl 5 needs to be retired.

The name “Python” came about as the result of a company contest, and it is believed that Philip Schwartz, one of Colt’s vice presidents, came up with the winning name.
