I see, you don't read this list totally. (You or Keeling)

Perl is Perl, nothing else. Even though the man page says so... Or the
Camel Book or whatever.

I've been admonished by Perl core team members and Perl Monks and many
from the Perl mailing lists.

Perl is a bastardization of "Pearl". Larry Wall intended to call the
langauge "Pearl".

Please don't take Wikipedia as *THE* reference. Yes it is correct, in
this case.

Therefore that leaves:

Perl is just Perl, nothing else.

Why even argue when you say the same thing.

Please remember, I said Perl core team and Perl Monks... (#7
specifically http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=26179 )
