Yes, I had the same need. However, in my case, I didn't want to rely on
having perl installed on the server or the client. It takes some
shell-fu-gymnastics to pull off, but so far, the only problem I've had was
with a broken bourne shell implementation on some old Solaris boxes, and
that's been worked around.
A Perl version would have been faster to write, and would probably run
faster too.
