Hi Arved,

thanks. Of course, maintainability is important (Perl is not the first
programming language I learn [Basic, Assembler, Pascal, Logo, Lisp,
Javascript and AppleScript have left their marks on me]. But sure Perl is
really fascinating in its compactness and versatility. Especially its
regular expressions and powers of pattern analysis/replacement now deserve
some more of my time.
