The concept is very interesting - apparently, each "doll" or layer is encrypted, and only the target can decode the message - so I guess the equivalent of the MX would be the outmost doll, while the equivalent of a To: field would

I don't care how un-sexy perl is by current standards. It's damn efficient, even for new projects. Also, it's not hard for a developper worth its salt to get productive in perl. At the moment I'm playing with some thread

Your logic seems wrong for the causality. We destroyed wealth because of the world wars, which then caused "rising equality". I do not believe the world wars happened due to inequality - so no, I'm not worried.
