Raising Perl awareness on Tiobe + Wikipedia, etc.

I don't want room to wriggle here. I don't want the Perl community  
resorting to borderline underhand SEO tactics. I want us to follow the  
spirit of the Wikipedia rules, not just the letter.

That what we currently have. "Perl (Programming Language)" is a  
redirect to "Perl". That's how it should be. The proposal is to  
reverse the direction of the redirection - so "Perl" redirects to  
"Perl (Programming Language)". That is contrary to the way that  
Wikipedia is supposed to work.
