Yeah...the trouble is I spent sooo much time learning perl about 4 years
ago.  I know more than I care to about perl.  More recently I learned
python (which was far easier, although I know a lot more about
programming now than I did then).  So there just isn't much motivation
for me to learn another language that does less than either of those :)

Incidentally...here's another bug fix:

address@hidden
  tla-tools
    tla-tools--mainline
      tla-tools--mainline--1.0
