When I look at the file it shows me:

Some of the benchmarks are inspired on a benchmark suite developed at
ICOT for their SIM project, and other benchmark choices were
influenced by discussions with ICOT researchers on the relative
performance of SIM-I vs.  Prolog-20.

-- Fernando Pereira

But the file name has probably a typo:

samples/peirera.pl

Pay respect to the ancestors, and write their names correctly.

Its obviously nonsense, because the original name was:

These benchmarks are designed to identify
pereira.tar Fernando Pereira's benchmarks (26-DEC-86)
pereira.txt

https://github.com/ashok-khanna/cmu-ai-repository/blob/main/lang/prolog/code/bench/0.html

These tests are a nice piece of history and
require some research to get the names right.
