The name was never my point. But you don't seem to get them, stuck in your ideas.
My point is, considering the main documentation, presented to you when you type in man perl or perldoc perl strongly suggests it's an acronym.
Really, if the main documentation starts its description with Perl officially stands for Practical Extraction and Report Language, you can scribble all you want in a CPAN maintained piece of documentation, but people will keep thinking Perl is an acronym, and I will keep correcting people who jump up and down because they remember a bit of trivia and slap people in the face with it.
Again, either fix the bloody documentation, or shut up when someone thinks PERL is an acronym.
