Perhaps I'm oblivious to what has gone round the rugged rock so many times as you say, but usually the hardest things to change are those that buck the social current or that simply have to pass a large committee. If so many of us (virtually unanimous I would hope) agree that this change would be a positive thing, why then is it difficult? If the platform is at all based on Perl, it should be cinch, right?

I don't mean to cause everyone to rehash old stuff, but if there's a link to catch me up to speed on the past conversation, I'd take a look at it.

Blessings,
