It's interesting that someone who professes loving to program in Perl refers to it as "PERL". People who refer to it in all-caps instantly give themselves away as outsiders to the language. It's like someone claiming to be a senior JAVA programmer, it's not an acronym.
Or some people just don't fucking care about "standard spellings" and prefer their own.

Exactly. I worked for a magazine that insisted on their company name be stylised in all caps (it was not a acronym).
If you look at a old JAVA/Java logo it actually is stylised as JAVA.
In fact my first JAVA textbook stylised it in all caps also so ever since I just copied that.
Ps. I dont actually give a shit about JAVA or what anyone thinks it says about my skills because of the way I write it
