Or you could just code it up in perl .......

Yeah I know, we all like Python.  But sometimes you have the choice between 
getting the job done and not.

Or you could always ask them to install Python.  It is dirt easy since usually 
the admin can just install a package made for their system.  Takes about as 
long to install as it does to download.
