+From the keyboard of flee@cs.psu.edu (Felix Lee):
+:And Perl is definitely awkward with data types.  I haven't yet found a
+:pleasant way of shoving non-trivial data types into Perl's grammar.
+
+Yes, it's pretty aweful at that, alright.  Sometimes I write perl programs
+that need them, and sometimes it just takes a little creativity.  But
+sometimes it's not worth it.  I actually wrote a C program the other day
+(gasp) because I didn't want to deal with a game matrix with six links per node.
+
+:Here's a very simple problem that's tricky to express in Perl: process
+:the output of "du" to produce output that's indented to reflect the
+:tree structure, and with each subtree sorted by size.  Something like:
+:    434 /etc
+:      |     344 .
+:      |      50 install
+:      |      35 uucp
+:      |       3 nserve
+:      |       |       2 .
+:      |       |       1 auth.info
+:      |       1 sm
+:      |       1 sm.bak
+
+At first I thought I could just keep one local list around
+at once, but this seems inherently recursive.  Which means 
+I need an real recursive data structure.  Maybe you could
+do it with one of the %assoc arrays Larry uses in the begat
+programs, but I broke down and got dirty.  I think the hardest
+part was matching Felix's desired output exactly.  It's not 
+blazingly fast: I should probably inline the &childof routine,
+but it *was* faster to write than I could have written the 
+equivalent C program.
