Feel free to consider the node for removal if this explaination doesn't satisfy.
?? Sorry, I wasn't trying to complain (though rereading my note, it certainly sounds like a complaint). I was honestly curious whether you were intentionally or unintentionally using modules. If I hadn't had the question about DDSLC I wouldn't have even bothered posting.

Let me try again:

I see you are using some modules though the OP is looking for a solution that doesn't do so. More power to your elbow! A perl programmer without modules is like a shell programmer without a keyboard! (Well, not quite.) But did you miss that part of the OP? Or just ignore it but not want to bring up the same old discussion that comes up whenever anybody claims they "aren't allowed to use modules"? Or other?
