Yes, yes. ++chromatic

To be a little more clear about the nature of my utility, it's not going to packaged as part of the final product. The machines themselves are controllers for much larger systems, and will go out to customers in this "plain vanilla" configuration for logistical, legal, and whatever reasons. My Perl code is only being used for engineering debug and bringup, and will be long gone before the machines go out. It's (usually) not the inclination of my boss to make my work more difficult; this is an unusual circumstance.

So in fairness, there are a lot of complex issues involved, and I didn't mean to over-simplify the Dilbert-nature of my workplace. Not in this case, anyway. ;-)
