:-) Just two Perl dweebs geeking out, ignore it. But you're proposing a
great challenge for the other language advocates here. Can anyone else here
come up with a python/ruby/etc example with equivalent functionality? Any
rules? No use of external (non-core) libraries?

My original post was sufficient for your original request, it just got
embellished with additional functionality. All told, I still think that
what Perl can do on the CLI is pretty flexible and impressive. Let's see
what the other languages can do!
