No, it is not an acronym. See the following. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl " When referring to the language, the name is normally capitalized (Perl) as a proper noun, as you would a spoken language (e.g. English or French). When referring to the interpreter program itself, the name is often uncapitalized (perl) because most Unix-like file systems are case-sensitive. Before the release of the first edition of Programming Perl, it was common to refer to the language as perl; Randal L. Schwartz, however, capitalized the language's name in the book to make it stand out better when typeset. This case distinction was subsequently documented as canonical." " There is some contention about the all-caps spelling "PERL," which the documentation declares incorrect and which some core community members consider a sign of outsiders. Although the name is occasionally taken as an acronym for Practical Extraction and Report Language (which appears at the top of the documentation and in some printed literature), this expansion actually came after the name; several others have been suggested as equally canonical, including Wall's own humorous Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister. Indeed, Wall claims that the name was intended to inspire many different expansions." -- Russell Mosemann
