TBH, I'd rather nuke perl, and go back to AWK script for the route-types. There was something I wanted to extent or fix to that but... Perl.

AWK is a lot more easier to pick up from scratch or just dive into for a C programmer - the syntax is more compact, and it's C-like. It's also just one binary.

Perl has a plethora of different "line-noise" operators and actually prides itself on "there's more than one way to do it", which I find a barrier to casual use.

regards,

Paul
