Thus to make Perl REx effective, all of the datastream must be
available to the programmer, because only the programmer knows what is
or isn't "essential".  Not sure whether this means I side with Chip or
Ilya though. :/

Perl is really designed more for the guys that will hack Perl at least
20 minutes a day for the rest of their career.  TCL/Python is more a
"20 minutes a week", and VB is probably in that "20 minutes a month"
group. :) -- Randal Schwartz
