But overall perl is ok. It does the job. It provides a good overall basic toolset. I try to avoid modules when possible, especially when not contained in perl core and thus giving up comfort, reimplementing things which are done in a better quality, for reducing Installation efforts needed and keeping Codebase small. (If you use modules, you may end up with other dependent modules).
This is precisely the reason I use, (occasionally now), Python. It is useful enough with its builtin libraries. I try to steer clear of those libraries that could be dependencies for any project, especially for the AMIGA.
I have not ignored this Perl project I will follow on soon with a drawing routine to join up the dots.

SHEDSKIN(1)															       SHEDSKIN(1)

NAME

       Shedskin - An experimental (restricted) Python-to-C++ Compiler

SYNOPSIS

       shedskin [OPTION]... FILE

DESCRIPTION

       Shed  Skin  is  an experimental compiler, that can translate pure, but implicitly statically typed Python (2.4-2.6) programs into optimized
       C++. It can generate stand-alone programs or extension modules that can be imported and used in larger Python programs.

       Besides the typing restriction, programs cannot freely use the Python standard library (although about 25 common modules,  such	as  random
       and re, are currently supported). Also, not all Python features, such as nested functions and variable numbers of arguments, are supported.

OPTIONS

	  -a --ann		 Output annotated source code (.ss.py)

	  -b --nobounds 	 Disable bounds checking

	  -e --extmod		 Generate extension module

	  -f --flags		 Provide alternate Makefile flags

	  -l --long		 Use long long integers

	  -m --makefile 	 Specify alternate Makefile name

	  -n --silent		 Silent mode, only show warnings

	  -o --noassert 	 Disable assert statements

	  -r --random		 Use fast random number generator (rand())

	  -s --strhash		 Use fast string hashing algorithm (murmur)

	  -w --nowrap		 Disable wrap-around checking

	  -x --traceback	 Print traceback for uncaught exceptions

	  -L --lib		 Add a library directory
