Not a solution (I'm on the way out the door), but there are some
Perl scripts included with teTeX right now, meaning that teTeX
probably should depend on Perl, which would then free us to write
any Perl scripts we like. ;-)
To be fair, though, those Perl scripts are pretty peripheral --
Thomas' scripts are all written as Bourne[ Again] shell scripts.
