except it cannot be. perl module Foo::Bar is shipped in package perl-Foo-Bar since quite a lot of time, per policy. so the ~2500 perl packages are almost all using some upper-case, which make your 99% figure totally wrong (2500 / 10000 = ~25% using upper case) note that perl packages shipping an application or a script useful on their own do follow the policy and are called eg perlbrew, nopaste, grok, etc. sorry to disappoint you, jérôme
