Since it's Damianiacal code, I wouldn't want to go in there alone!  :-)

Sounds like a good candidate for a hack-a-thon or a pair-wise hacking at a
SPUG meeting, perhaps next week.  If I weren't already on a 4-week/4-state
Perl training tour (i.e. I'll miss next week's meeting again), I'd be
interested.  

Anyone (or anytwo) else interested?
