I rarely respond to your posts, but I request proof of this statement:

Having encountered a lot of this sort of source-code before

Please show me the code, the CPAN modules, your repositories that show this. It frustrates me, as someone who actually HAS "encountered" (read: wrote myself, and helped with others). Proof: Test::BrewBuild. In this case, not only did I write the software, I wrote the Windows software the software uses.

Your drivel will be just that; drivel, until you show some code. Let's see where your expertise in this matter comes from. If you can't prove it, please, refrain from posting. It's no different than asking someone how to gut and rebuild my house by someone who can't provide any proof that they've gone as far as to pick up even a paintbrush (yes, I've built/flipped homes too, and yes, I can prove it).
