That's right folks, let's prototype Perl programs using bash! Why would you inflict such a thing on the world? ... Yes, shell functions which contain Perl functions which are then fed to perl and the result pulled back into the shell function and spat back out.... But sometimes there's shell code that shells out to perl!

If you like that, you should see the guts of MakeMaker sometime.
