    Are you serious about there being no competent Perl programmer available? There's an implication in that, that Perl somehow requires special knowledge or training or something. It ain't that hard. I mean, come on, it's just a programming language that isn't all that different in essentials from many another programming language. So you have regexes, hashes, dynamic arrays, and such like goodies that C/C doesn't have, and must clumsily add through libraries, so what? Is it the regexes that scares away the COBOL programmers? Or the massive CPAN collection of libraries? Maybe the sigils? I admit having to put a '$' in front of a variable name every time you use it is pretty annoying, but in the big picture, that's a trivial concern. I had no trouble picking up Perl in a day, for a job I had a long time ago.

    Correct that to "no competent Perl programmer willing to volunteer their personal time to support this site" then. If it's so easy, please feel free to volunteer!
