Yup. Docker is amazing, but not everyone wants to use Docker. I'm on a Mac
and using Docker on a Mac is painful. When clients provide me with Docker,
it makes life easy, but the code runs like cold molasses (you can hit your
favorite search engines for tons of ways to try to fix this and tear your
hair out in the process).

By having a native, local Perl solution, we can provide a solution that
other languages provide and the core solution would probably serve most
needs. When, and if, someone needs more, they'd hopefully have more
experience in understanding their needs and finding a better solution.

Cheers,
