I think it is ok to use complex perl if you leave a simple comment over it that explains it. Or you could do something I saw in production code for a Fortune 500 company.
# DO NOT EDIT THE NEXT LINE... IT WORKS AND THAT IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW

    So that (a) I can find it later, and (b) J. Random Neophyte (see gloryhack's post, below) might not screw with that line after turning off the strict pragma.
