The problem has more to do with searching and manipulating the data 
structure than creating it.  TT's display-oriented language is just not 
well-suited to this task.  In general, I think that if you try to do 
things like this in a mini-language you are basically justifying the 
argument of the in-line perl camp: you already know a great powerful 
programming language (perl), so why try to program your application in 
an intentionally limited one?
