So I'm predictable[1]:

Aaaarrrggghh!! Will people save themselves the trouble of learning
csh "programming", then spending hours of funless debugging and
bug incompatibilities across machines?

Please, people: friends don't recommend csh to friends. See
http://www.perl.com/pub/language/versus/csh.html for the details.

If you want to write something very simple, go ahead and use Bourne
shell for it (/bin/sh). For anything more complex than 20 lines it
does pay to learn Perl[2]..
