Okay, but that's not the Unix philosophy as _I_ understand it
(I might be biased: I have tried to learn perl three times and
 failed it, though I can usually fix minor stuff in my IRC client
 sirc; I don't like perl and probably will never be able to create
 a perl script from scratch.)

You might want to overthink that decision - but then, you're the
one who decides in the end, and you need not listen to me.

Still I'm one of six billion people on earth, and I don't think
I'm the only one who doesn't grok the complexity of perl.

With no bad meaning intended,
//Thorsten
