Veering off course here, after experiencing how incredibly long it took to install Sqitch, I will go out of my way to avoid anything that is more than a single script, certainly anything requiring CPAN too. I don’t think there’s anything technically wrong with these programs or with Perl, they’re just presented in ways that are unique hassles in this day and age.
I remember when Perl was the coolest thing ever. I even wrote numerical simulations in it, just to try. Only with the invention of Python and Ruby did we realize how much better things could be. Of course that the Perl inventor was an IOCCC winner should've been a red flag.
