After the PyOpenBSD was posted on undeadly.org I thought the same,
specially after a person remarked in a comment that it'd be more useful if
it were written in Perl since Perl is in the base system while Python is
not. I read a little bit about Perl modules but had to give up to write an
pf Perl module since I don't really have any experience in Perl.
