This is a perfectly reasonable answer and I need to explain why I think it's completely awful. A true Foo for whatever Bar to work with Baz just might be easier. It becomes more sinister than the platitude it is without giving a specific example Perl is not a bad language or a language fated to lose to Ruby, Python, Go, Dart, PHP, or any other. Its major disadvantage today is lack of applications and code libraries matching currently relevant, growing problem domains. In this SoPW we have a user willing to sink time into attempting to relieve some tiny corner of that problem. The problem, above all others, which is withering the language and its adoption. The best solution to the user's problem may well be, forget about Perl, use this instead. The best solution for Perl, especially in cases like this where there is a clear interest in hearing it is, get after that with Perl and good luck! Update: fixed embarrassing typo.
