A couple problems here:

1) PERL is not written in ALL CAPS because..

2) ..it is not an acronym and hasn't been quite a few years now.

3) Also that is the wrong acronym anyway.  It's actually "Practical
extraction and reporting language".

This makes me wonder about the quality of such a course when the
description is not even close with respect to such simple little 
things.
