Sometime Today, Parag Someshwar assembled some asciibets to say:
Practical Extraction and Report Language or Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister.
Take you pick.
those were both assigned after perl was created, which makes it a backronym, not an acronym.
But anyways... PERL by any other name is just as cool, isn't it!!
yeah, but it's never PERL - perldoc -q difference.*perl.*Perl will tell you why.
