Oh heck, you just had to get into the acronym thing....
PLEASE -- Perl Language Extensions And Standard Exportables
SPELL -- Standard Perl Extension Library :)
LiSP -- Library of Standard Perl :-)
ALPHA -- Annotated Library of Perl Heuristics and Algorithms
PASCAL -- Perl Access to Standard Code And Libraries
Must... stop... acronyms... addictive!

library" vs "supported" vs "contributed" vs "unsupported" distinction
(some of those may or may not be the same) though.
