Not sure about the size of the intersection of xfroot & perl users, but
thought I'd post here in case it's greater than one;-)

  |Xmartin is an X11 root window decorator based on the Barry Martin hopalong
  |algorithms (see A. K. Dewdney's column in the 9/86 Scientific American.)
  |Available on uxc.cso.uiuc.edu in pub/xfroot/xmartin.shar or by email request 
  |to ejk@ux2.cso.uiuc.edu. 
  |
  |Xmartin adds these features to those in its xfroot predecessor:
  |
  |   o new patterns with three variations on the original Martin hopalong
  |   o option for tiling effects and/or speed
  |   o option for effects by periodically perturbing (x,y)
  |   o random color sequences and tailorable resources for colors
  |   o ranges for hopalong parameters
  |   o zoom and pan options 
  |   o option to recall and alter previous hopalong parameters
>>|   o optional Perl xmartin+ tailors probabilities, replays interesting 
>>|     patterns
