For simple, file system centric tasks, shell scripts are just the technology of choice. Just about anybody familiar with Unix systems can deal with Bourne shell code. Having taken a quick look at the current wmaker.inst code I think that it is fairly readable. I cannot see any improvement that could result from rewriting it in Perl apart from introducing new bugs.
