Sorry to be picky, but it's PERL. (Practical Extraction and Reporting Language)
Sorry to be picky, but it's Perl, because it's only a backronym. You can expand it as Pathologically Eclective Rubbish Lister with Larry's blessing. :-)
There's also "perl", for when you're referring to the binary that executes Perl.
But there's no PERL.
Filesystems which are pedantic about case are stupid. Humans which are pedantic about the case of an acronym are 100 times worse.
