Please, calm down, Bruce :) That was just an idea.

If I knew Perl as much as I know JavaScript I'd submit a PR yesterday. 
(I know, I made a few modules for private use, they're on my GitHub – 
but it involved much much much more learning than actual writing, and it 
was long ago).

Nevermind. Have a nice day :)

Best regards,
Kaligula
