No, the presence of a capital letter on the first of a connected group of words terminated with a full stop indicates the start of a sentence. Do you start every sentence with 'The'?

Please, I was making a case for sensitivity (pun intended) in the English language (which you said didn't exist), and you are being pedantic. "He" and "he" mean different things in the middle of a sentence. Using "He" in the middle of a sentence to describe "Tom" is not valid English, because it DOES have a different meaning, unless a certain god (non-specific, hence lowercase 'G') is named Tom. Just as "pERl" is totally meaningless and if you typed that, you don't deserve to get anything executed by running it. What happens if you type "cC" on an old HPUX box, do you get "CC" or "cc" ?

As for the implications of the other matter--do you think hE would be bothered? Or is it only man that gives import to such matters?

Not mine, maybe yours. Dunno.

Unless you have a good use for having seperate commands: perl, Perl, PErl, PERl, PERL, pErl, pERl, pERL, perL, peRL, PeRl, pErL?

I'll give you once good case for sensitivity in filesystems. Wikis.

Maybe you just like Windows and hate other systems. That's fine. There is no reason to fight for NTFS though, in many areas, such as fragmentation, it's really flawed. If *BSD, Linux, Unix aren't your thing .. just say so. I actually have a Mac too and I'm not crazy about HFS+ being (by default install) case-insensitive. Generally files and directories should be able to have different casing and not clash. There are occasions where this is warranted.
