Comment (by eschnett):
Note that the "potentially complex perl script" contains 12 (twelve) characters. Your call to patch is longer than this.
Also -- how would you generate the patch? Would you (a) manually read all source files, or (b) use "grep" to look for "-Werror", or (c) wait until something breaks and then update the patch?
(a) is not feasible. (b) is just what perl does, only more automatic. And (c) continues to work fine; we'll use perl until something breaks and then we'll update our method.
