I say: Wait and see.

Naming problems are not logical and should only be addressed when they pose a real problem.

For instance Pennsylvania Dutch is a misnomer. It's not Dutch it's a High German° dialect.

Or is "Dutch" a misnomer? Since it's just the English prononciation of Deutsch.

Or is "German" a misnomer and should be called Dutch in English?

Or should Austria, Switzerland and the Benelux countries sue Germany for using the name "Deutschland" exclusively?

Too theoretical?

What about Canadians being North Americans but not Americans...

What about Brittany not being part of Great Britain?

FWIW: they should have named it "Perl++" ( and that right from the beginning) and I bet that's what's going to happen in the end.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
