Yeah. I'm not a fan of shell scripts. I can't normally do all I want to do 
with it without calling into umpteen different programs and spawning subshells 
just to work around shells I don't use :o

I prefer to use something that will "just work". There aren't 20 different 
perls. Theres one ;) makes it a lot easier to maintain (for me).

My script will also support both 4.3/4 and 4.9+.
