What everyone else is doing isn't hugely relevant. What we already do is 
far more so, certainly. And, given that perl cribs from english as much as 
any other language, spending some time to get names that fit well makes 
perfect sense, especially since most of the perl programmers that start 
using this won't be coming with huge gobs of experience from languages that 
already do it.
