Why?  CamelCase simply refers to the humps that appear in the middle of words 
when youUppercaseTheMiddleWord.  At least that's how I've always thought of 
it.  I don't think anyone's pointing fingers at Perl.  Hell, I came from C++ 
and my first real Ruby code has all methods named in lowerCamelCase. -_-
