use Perl

I don't have a competing module to hype up, but I'm not sure exactly what is wrong with "hasn't been updated since 2006" - if it doesn't have any bugs and works with the latest versions of perl and the modules on which it depends then I can't see any reason which it should have been updated. Infact I would say this is a good thing - the author made a well designed, bug free module in the first place.

Yeah I was going to ask someone about that after I got a bunch of FAIL on Monday morning, but then got bogged down in real work and forgot :-)
