Ok, but remote rural island users without credit cards and with
mailboxes far away/in town, and some 3rd World users, will not have
ready access... also novice or old grey users, who only know perldoc
-f sort, man perlfunc, will stick with perl ...|sort -u as they
aren't able to find the answer on their system without some modem
calls and days needed to post and receive answers.  So some mention of
how the authors think one should make "perl ...|sort -u" into just "perl ..."
wouldn't hurt.
