Ya, so it turns out SciTE includes PERL in all the awesome power of its small powers. I was able to mod it to use wperl, so no more ugly DOSbox. Ya, strawberry PERL for win32 is a bit broken it seems, but meh. Now to get over the ugly syntax, and the horrible tyranny of ;

(Really, forcing a ; at the end of every line just makes it hard to play with a language. Everytime I comment I have to put ;// instead of just //. And yes, that makes a difference(Mainly because I'm use to just putting // instead of ;//, and I already am having to put ; everywhere, and ; is useless to the nth degree))

Some people have been beaten so well that they prefer the semicolon
