For my own personal work, you are right, however, this is work for a major financial company whose clients are other major financial companies.

It doesn't sound very good to any of these stodgy well-monied corporate-types to hear a phrase like "ok, now go into the makefile and search for INSTALLMAN... ok, now type in the following..."

And on my end even personally, if things are supposed to work, then they are supposed to. Perl may be the duct tape of the Internet, but I dont feel like duct taping the duct tape.
