I'm not sure what you mean here.

If it's confusing, it's confusing (sic).  Your remark would still be
valid if we replaced "(main)" with any other text, so that's not a very
good criterion.

Yes, sorry, I meant "not localizable", or "not translatable": figuring
out a decent translation is hard.

I don't know how to properly load and execute a Perl file from Perl
code, so I won't tackle this.  Having Perl code in our sources requires
Perl knowledge, but I don't have it and I'm not interesting in learning
it.

Thanks for the hint, done.
