( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Recently there was a discussion in the Monastery about the confusion between 'Perl' and 'PERL' and how we could enlighten the rest of the world. This led me to contemplate the meaning of the Acronym Perl....

There are the two traditional expansions

Pathologically Eclectic Rubish Lister Practical Extraction and Report Language
But there are also:
Pink Elephants Reel Liquorishly Papal Encyclicals Read Liturgically Peter Eats Red Licorice Pretty Extreme Racing Line Purple Eggplant, Rather Large Polka-dotted Emus, Running Loose Perfume Enhances Romantic Liasons

The mind boggles. (And a boggled mind is not good for much)

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.
