fwiw, some of the rather muted enthusiasm you're seeing for this project stems from the fact that (corroborated by several random perl devs i polled) this code looks harder to maintain than it should be, seemingly not being deduplicated, and not like native perl code at all

it feels like it was written by somebody who knows a different programming language really well and preferred not to get too familiar with perl

here's code that does somewhat similar work, but in a way that inspires confidence
