in thread Web-designing using PERL

... people will keep thinking Perl is an acronym...

So what? People think all kinds of silly things; that's why they ask questions on here when their misunderstandings create buggy programs.

The name of the language isn't "PERL". The documentation is clear. The only place it refers to "PERL" is to say that that's not the name of the language.

(If "PERL" were the name of the language, the documentation you quoted would likely say "PERL stands for...". It doesn't. QED.)

    I could once again say I'm not argueing its name. Never did. But you keep thinking I do.

    Keep on dreaming.
