in reply to PERL Mentality
What's the difference between ""perl"" and ""Perl""? One bit. Oh, you weren't talking ASCII? :-) Larry now uses "Perl" to +signify the language proper and "perl" the implementation of it, i.e. the curr +ent interpreter. Hence Tom's quip that "Nothing but perl can parse Perl." + You may or may not choose to follow this usage. [...] But never write "PERL", because perl isn't really an acronym, aprocryp +hal folklore and post-facto expansions notwithstanding.
