All the Perl that's Practical to Extract and Report
I pour the blue liquid on the red liquid. If it doesn't blow up on my
face, I proceed to turn up the flame under the blue liquid, and so on.
I have very little idea of what I am really doing, I just like the
pretty colors :-)

"There's a Perl script for that..." (Score:1)
A Cautionary Tale:
My opinion arises from a personal faux pas: during a fit of pique while bug-killing a particularly befuddling bit of code, I inserted some F-bombs into some diagnostics (the cause turned out to be a bug in Perl, btw, so the F-bombs may have been well deserved). After a scrubbing exersize, the s/w was shipped...and (you guessed it) a couple days later I got a note from a customer that one of the fbomb'ed diagnostics had erupted at his site. Thankfully, the customer had a good sense of humor, and I spent the next 24 hours doing penance by scrambling to cleanup my code (and my act).
