Scriptome has several purposes:
1) Help experienced coders avoid reinventing the wheel and silly bugs.
2) Help non-programmers do simple munging using cut and paste, without learning
how to program. (And by "simple" I mean somewhere between Notepad find/replace
and real programming.)
3) Help novice programmers get some examples of Perl idioms, or starting points
to work with. (I had this whole plan of commenting the tools, but never got the
tuits.)
Re #1, with the command-line Scriptome tool, so when I'm working with a client
(or even by myself) I can just do:
Scriptome -t change_fasta_to_tab blah.fasta > blah.tab
And some of the merge and choose tools are great when exploring data.
And no, arguing about languages is only slightly less stupid than fighting a
land war in Asia.

I hadn't thought of this before but it is a good idea if you can search it
easily, I often use google for
sed/awk one liners for stuff like this and its a great way to learn the tools
and get your work done.
You seem to have a bit more than flat lists of one-liners but off hand I'd
think this would be
a generally good idea. Now to argue," you should have done that in
{perl,awk,sed,java,c++} instead of {perl, awk, sed, java, c++}"
LOL
