Oh, yeah, this was totally a quick "hack it up on a Friday afternoon" exercise (well, Wednesday, which in the US this particular week was a Friday) Note the almost complete lack of error handling and research behind it. But it works pretty well, for all that.

I was thinking of it more as a "look what you can put together in Perl in five minutes" demonstration. One could regard it as something to build on =)
