I wouldn't say 'pointless', there's been times I've been able to do
something in Perl, and really wanted to know the code to do it in
AppleScript (or vise-versa) something simple like move a folder to
the trash...

code comparisions do have their uses...

(AppleScript is definitely the *odd bird* though...)
