Well there's C++ too, and you should be able to organize the logic
easily with that. Perl also has something called miniperl, which if I
remember what it does correctly, might take care of the lack of Perl on some
systems. By the way I have yet to see a Linux system lacking Perl, except
for some single purpose ones which I have setup from time to time with 40 MB
drives.
