First, it does not need Perl.

Second, it does not even need bash.

At least that is what I tried to make sure. I replaced the only instance 
of a bashim I was aware, namely the arrayism of $unchanged. It can be a 
string just as well, as we are only storing object names in it.

Tell me if it does not work for you.

Or even better, provide me with a test case that fails for you.

Ciao,
