It's the simple fact that I (single developer) have to keep it updated on numerous binary platforms (Linux x86, Solaris SPARC, Solaris x86, HPUX PA-RISC, HPUX Itanium, OSF/1, AIX PowerPC, etc).

I'm not afraid of the recompile issue, but I'd rather use Perl to write it once and use it anywhere. (Apologies to the Java catch-phrase!)
