I might first need to use some of those immuno-suppressive
drugs they give to transplant recipients because, although
I'd never deny perl's obvious utility, I think I might be
allergic to it; every time I look at some perl code I get
the heaves and the hives...

So, did you suggest perl just to be a pest, or would
it actually offer an advantage?  Let me guess: in perl,
the construct "$@!$*->___++" does exactly what I want...
