:what: Someone should rewrite it in python.
Why?
Because it's a much better-known and more-often used language than Perl. While it's not much of a data set in itself, I know Python and might be willing to have a play with the snellman code were it in Python (almost certainly not in a way that would be good enough to go live, but just to try some things out it), but I wouldn't know where to start with it in Perl. I imagine there are many similar to me (and relatively few in the other direction).
Yes, I know I could probably teach myself Perl without too many difficulties - but there are so many other languages and tools that I would like to learn, that are used MUCH more in things I would like to be doing, that I can't see me making that particular effort.
