I don't want to sound jerk, but what's wrong about Mortiz's answer? How many times somebody asks something and we say "use shell script for that", "use this module instead of that other module" or "do it in C" ?

Is up to the person that makes the question to pick the best answer for his/her problem - remember TIMTOWTDI. You can just ignore those answers you don't like.

On the other hand P5 and P6 share *almost* the same community ( fortunately ) so its perfectly fine to me to use the same tools - in this case the perlmonks - to discuss ideas, post snippets and suggest possible solutions.
