Ok, I was wrong. I'm used to perl, I've seen perl on every Linux
installation and on almost every Unix installation I've been working
with.

I can be done in sh, surely. I only tried to promote my perl version
because I've done it in perl and nobody told me earlier that perl is not
liked in the kernel tree - and I've seen some perl scripts there.
I guess I'll have to convert the script to sh.
