Code quality, Refactoring
A lot of code could be rewritten in a much cleaner and shorter way
due to the new Perl features of the last seven years (e.g. the
whole
fork-and-exec
stuff)
By converting more of the scripts to Perl modules we can make
the whole process more flexible (and probably faster by saving
quite some forks and maybe even file reads).
By moving more code from the frontend to separate Perl modules
we can make the frontend code more maintainable.
