Hi, there. I want to do a remake of some simple programs, say mspaint or calc.exe in windows.

It seems obvious to use the name jspaint in javascript and pycalc in python. What is the common prefix that stands for perl? pl- or p-? or perl-?

pl- and p- is short enough. But they does not seem descriptive to me. I can't relate to perl when I see a program named plpaint or pcalc.

In the case of perl-, I'm worried about trademark issues. It seems to be impolite to include the fullname of a project. Or is it just that I'm thinking too much?
