From 'man perlfaq1':
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.
I don't mean to be a smart-ass, but I noticed you used "PERL" in your other
two other posts today as well.
