We have people on this list who are incapable of programming simple text
extraction in *at*least*one*language*? Really?
No-one said a _scripting_ language had to be used. Feel free to use C (with
"sharp" or "plusplus", if you wish), or Pascal, or Smalltalk, or LISP, or
Fortran, or S/370 Assembler. Whatever floats your boat. Whatever doesn't look
like "line-noise" to you, nor has a requirement of "stunning brilliance" to
use. Feel free to format it in pretty ways (if the language allows you to do
that) and/or comment it liberally.
(Personally, I'd probably use Perl with the Net::DNS module, but that's only
because I've written about a million of those scripts and so wouldn't have to
think too hard about it).

Because, not everyone is as stunningly brilliant as you?
To a non-zero population of this list the above looks like line-noise...

I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad idea in the
first place.
This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing regret
at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair of pants.
