Yep, when I did it, I had considered whether it'd be possible to expand on it, have it farm out tasks to other nodes, replace netpbm with something that uses the GPU, etc. Not sure if the existing software packages do that or not, that'd be a useful feature IMO, rather than having one big hulking box that does everything, you just have a collection of smaller boxes that take some small piece and process that. I recall the Perl code was just to save me the tedium of coding everything in Make (I wasn't as proficient as I am now). It basically took a script, and generated Make statements that would produce the output movie.
