We all know the correct spelling of our favorite language is "Perl", not "PERL". :-)

Yes! I've added more detail on this important topic, lifted from the dictionary entry cited at Re^2: The Lighter Side of Perl Culture (Part III) - origin of the name Perl: 

Perl Brit.
Perl, perl, irreg. PERL
Computing.
perl n. ,
arbitrarily chosen for its positive connotations, with omission of
-a- to differentiate it from an existing programming language called
Pearl. Coined by Larry Wall in the summer of 1987; the program was
publicly released on 18 December of that year. Acronymic expansions of
the name (such as Practical Extraction and Report Language and
Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister), though found in the earliest
documentation for the language, were formed after the name had been
chosen. Coinage details confirmed by personal communication from L.
Wall, May 2000. A high-level interpreted programming language widely 
used for a variety of tasks and especially for applications running 
on the World Wide Web. The form Perl is preferred for the language 
itself; perl is used for the interpreter for the Perl language.

I love it that PERL is considered "irregular". :-)
