A key reason few of us hack, is also a key reason few will audit open source systems for free. We work our asses off, and the last thing which is healthy to do is to come home and do more work in the very same area.
Perl is an interesting language. I used to hack away in it long ago before I found certain properties mattered when robustness was goal. ? One interesting thing about it was how it countered UNIX style of one, kludgy program per use-case. Wall was a bit subversive. I always see he developed it at Unisys for reports with rumors it involved high-assurance security. Hard to substantiate that last part.

Turns out, he developed it to manage code & docs of BLACKER VPN at Systems Development Corporation for the NSA. BLACKER was the first high-assurance, thin-client VPN ever made which internally leveraged GEMSOS security kernel.
