I know what you mean. It's still a tidy module and I like the way it
makes it trivial to whack business logic into callbacks.  Some
problemos are always going to be tricky.

I've used it again to successfully (where others have failed) produce
yummy summaries out of DB log files with half a million statements in
them.  Easy-peasy and you can pass it on for maintenance without it
coming back.
