...perl^1.1

In the Perl community, the lowercase word, ``perl'', refers to the canonical (and currently only) implementation (which is written in C) of Perl. The uppercase word, ``Perl'', refers to the language itself. This convention is also used throughout this document.

... available^3.1

There is no special reason that two systems living in the same binary must be tightly coupled. However, there is a tendency by designers to use what is available in code that is linked within the whole system. The Java environment, by designing the compiler and the virtual machine as separate entities, never fell victim to this psychological factor.
