I know I am going to sound like an annoying crank, but please avoid shouting when you write Perl. People seem to think Perl is an acronym, so they write it as PERL, but I assure you, it is not. There are retronyms -- people made up acronyms after it was already named -- but these are just for fun, and shouldn't be used seriously. Common conventions are to refer to Perl the language with a capital P, and perl the executable program with a lowercase p.
