	Well, I must say then that you were not looking at the right
 subset of Perl capabilities ;-). Pease look at the module FreezeThaw,
 which can handle arbitarily large nested datastructures, and it also
 gives random access using the associative array capabilities. (I like
 elisp; but I do not see Perl as less capable).

	But it is the most scalable solution ;-(

 Argentina whose head is wrapped in bandages, and only the hunted eyes
 show, winking and blinking beneath the thousands of cranial
