From the camel, 3rd Ed. p.218:
"Perl doesn't force a particular capitalization style on your subroutine names. However, one loosely held convention is that functions called indirectly by Perl's runtime system (BEGIN, CHECK, INIT, END, AUTOLOAD, DESTROY...)are in all capitals, so you might want to avoid using that style. ( But subroutines used for constant values are customarily named with all caps too. That's okay. We hope...)"
I tried arguing with a camel twice - the second time the excuse of curiosity invalidated, leaving stupidity as the only explanation...

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
