the two cool things about perl is that if you don't
need to do the 'c code' - because someone else has
already done the leg work with a perl module then
a) just use the module - it will be more portable
b) it's just simpler
the back side of that is the world's largest wealth
of those funky
"DUH!" moments
as you 'really get it' about doing cross platform
builds - so that you KNOW in the doing when, where
and why you need to have say
-KPICS
-fPICS
""
depending upon which compiler does what with those
type of 'command line arguments'...
So one can get a really good education on the basics
of the software development cycle by doing the boring
part of downloading modules - including the full source
for perl - and UNDERSTANDING what really goes into making
the code a file of 'machine specific opcode'....
