No, because the users won't be maintaining it, I will be.

I guess this means that Evolution isn't a Unix application (a Unix application can't be written by non-Unix hackers, right?), in which case we should DEFINETELY not use Perl. case closed.

And yes, i am talking about normal persons using Evolution. What normal person can pick up regex in a day? No one I know can do regex without having to spend a DAY to figure out the regex they need to use for something except for maybe the simplest things.
