This isn't a great comparison. Perl is huge compared to these scraping tools. With how the name "Perl" came to be, it's not likely that two people developing a similar kind of thing would independently come up with a similar name. It's quite common to add a y to a concept to come up with a name (or the last consonant and y, like scrappy, or ly).
