If nothing else, think of mobile devices. On my iPhone I can no longer swipe to
scroll, instead I have to target the (very small on a mobile device) arrows.

Every point you gain on 'style' will lose at least 5 on usability. That's a
really bad reflection on perl as well (IMO).
Blind people are unlikely to be able to navigate with a non-standard scrolling
system (one might argue that you don't care, since they aren't likely to be
playing games, but that's a pretty offensive point of view).
There's always compromises to be made; a web page isn't a static known-sized
piece of paper.
