Hmm... Things that are "easy" are often not very efficient. Perl is
certainly not a very "fast" interpreter, in general. I would be
surprised if a typical Perl redirector program would outperform a
reasonable C/C++ equivalent.
Do you have any data to support your recommendation not to write
redirectors in C for performance reasons?
