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 :-)

children messing with their parents (Score:1)
Having sequential siblings mess with environment is usually something like:
in script0:
eval `script1`
eval `script2`
script1 prints out bash commands like "export FOO=bar" which the running then evaluates into its own environment, leaving it there for script2 to see.
In brief: the environment is not a good way for children to perform IPC.

I just really wish I'd started with this (and the tests!!) two years ago when I started writing the modules!!
The customer wants some pretty significant changes and I've convinced them that we need some tests to insure that the functionality doesn't degrade with all of the changes... so... I'm basically backporting tests into the system while trying to provide new features.
And, the new features are needed soon (of course).
Yuck.
(OK... enough complaining. Back to work.)
