No, not at all. From the orginal post:

Who said anything about perl? I'm talking bash command line, as in:

matthew AT HOME-NT-01 ~
[3]$ type cd
cd is a shell builtin

matthew AT HOME-NT-01 /usr
[4]$ cd /usr

matthew AT HOME-NT-01 /usr
[5]$ type mv
mv is aliased to `mv -i '

matthew AT HOME-NT-01 /usr
[6]$ mv X11R6 X11R6.XFree.4.1.0
