yes it does matter. i use all lower case in emails and such for some

it is NOT an acronym. read perldoc perl and see what larry himself

that is not a perl bible by any standard i know of. just because they
are wrong doesn't mean you should copy it. also it is on the cover. do
they use PERL inside as well?
