Agreed! As per the quotes below. :)

Pragmatics is a subfield of linguistics and semiotics that studies the ways in which context contributes to meaning

-- Pragmatics (wikipedia)

Neither is the soul of Perl, which rests in the realm of pragmatics

-- Linguist Larry Wall (aka TimToady) in Re^2: What's wrong with Perl 6?

Perl has further been described as an "OO language", where "OO" means, not "object-oriented", but "operator-oriented" -- as per the classic Periodic Table of the Operators. Note that Perl can easily support many more operators than most conventional programming languages because alphabetic operators in Perl (e.g. lt) are easily distinguished from variable names because variables must start with a sigil (e.g. $ or @ or %).
