Bah. It's still amazing how many people incorrectly spell Perl as "PERL". Generally, that's a clue that the person isn't clued in, and can be easily ignored.
I know most people write Perl as Perl instead of "PERL". I was not *really* paying much attention, and personaly dont think it matters. tho, I am sure that would couse a huge flamefest. but look at this link:

you will notice not every book on Perl, is written like: "Perl"
Some *do* write it like 'PERL'
