That is, I've purposely did not do "perlish" code in the perl scripts
that I wrote, and have consistently NACKed changes to make it so.

The perl scripts in the kernel need to be "C-ish" not "perl-ish", that
way the other 70% of the kernel programmers that do not do perl can
still understand these scripts.
