If you insist on reinventing every wheel, you've basically created your
own in-house Perl-like dialect. It _looks_ sorta like Perl, but it's not

I agree. My last full time corporate job in particular they did almost
everything in-house duplicating a lot of CPAN functionality. Their code was
often well done, but it meant all my years of Perl and CPAN experience were
dampened because I had to learn their way of doing everything. Including,
ironically, testing.
