&lt;P&gt;When there were books only on Perl4 and Perl5, the distinction was easy to do: you had the Fuchsia Camel and the Blue Camel.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Now that there's a new blue kid in town, dedicated to Perl5.6, you cannot say "the Blue Camel" anymore...&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Personaly, I don't find Camel 2 and Camel 3 (even with Roman numbers) quite satisfying.
At &lt;a href="http://paris.pm.org"&gt;Paris.pm&lt;/a&gt;, we discovered
what we believe to be a secret message from Larry in the last edition of the Camel.
We are quite sure that he knew there would be a problem,
and gave us a hint at a solution.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, we have distinctive names for the Camel herd:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Fuchsia Camel
&lt;li&gt;Fido
&lt;li&gt;Amelia
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You don't have to read more than the first 20 pages of
the blue Camels to know why we do so.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What do you think about this naming convention, Monks?&lt;/p&gt;</field>
