That's what it's like now -- trivial but time consuming.

There were pain-points with the old perl scripts (and nested make files) but I would have continued to put-up with the problems and would have continued to use the old perl scripts.

But (back in 2008) I couldn't see how to set-affinity with Perl and I could see how to do that with Python.

That's why I rewrote the measurement scripts in Python.
