I spent five minutes I didn't have reading that page and it seems the
proposer wants to disambiguate Perl to follow the example of the German
Wikipedia site.
Something I found interesting in their discussion:
"It is possible that Perl became less of the duct tape of the internet
because of JavaScript."
Didn't know Perl ever competed with Javascript?
I am going to rename myself Perl and do something extraordinary to
create a need for disambiguation...I might eat 10 potatoes while doing a
head stand.

The proposal here seems to be to rename the Wikipedia article "Perl"
to "Perl (Programming Language)".
I don't agree with the proposal. If there's no need for disambiguation
then none should be used.
