Heh, I have been writing "crappy scheme" in Perl (and more recently JS) for years. Perl is actually kind of nice to use as a functional programming language, once you get used to thinking of it as such. "Higher Order Perl" is a great book and I still refer to it as a general reference for FP concepts and techniques.
