Not at all. I wish to Dog that other devs were as interested in seeing about this sort of thing instead of cooking up their own messy cogwheels which I always seem to inherit. :) Anything I can do to make Perl more fun, powerful, accessible, robust for others I will gladly. It ends up, I'd say, helping us all.

I'm also glad I finally have a slice of experience worth putting out there. It has been hard on (heh-heh-heh, heh-heh, I typed "hard on") the ego to see the algorithmic or inheritance or perlguts stuff that some of the monks can sling without burning out half their neurons while I didn't have many worthy answers of my own to offer.
