Thank you, this will come in handy in the future for my personal perl usage.

Unfortunately, I'm using a cluster where I don't have the ability to install modules. And if its not a core module the admins probably won't do it either.

Furthermore, the suite of perl scripts we were using recently broke down becuase of mismangement/misunderstanding of the modules currently installed, so installing more modules is a road I really don't want to go down, right now.
