PerlPath (Score:3, Interesting)

One thing the resident Dahuts have long discussed is something we coined "PerlPath" - basically an XPath for perl data structures. I think it would be really cool to build an XSLT-like templating solution using PerlPath to specify the nodes of your data structure.

  Strangely enough, I like XPath but I loathe XSLT! XPath seems to me to be a really elegent way of expressing complex tree traversals. XSLT on the other hand seems like a really complex way of expressing simple programming constructs (like, say, map).
