It's actually reasonably well commented now. You only need about a week to be able to learn enough Perl and make substantial changes to the plugin. I've done just this in the last week, and it's been fun. ;-) To be fair though, I know other languages and, crucially I believe, bourne shell, sed and awk. From that background, Perl really makes a lot of sense. A copy of Learning Perl and Programming Perl (just the latter if it's a choice between the two) would also help a lot.
