In this case, the goal of "ultra-portable" is indeed to serve other OSes. Hence also my motivation for avoiding specific modules. Since I don't admin those boxes, I couldn't be sure of what @INC would look like. In any case, the bossman asked me to put in stats and a timer, so I ended up with more scalars, etc. Easily enough achieved, but the thing was elegant and beautifully simple before all that. Amusingly, perl is fast enough that the timer is essentially useless. I tested it deleting over 7500 files and it still didn't get over 1 second. Nice.
