The Scriptome is a cookbook of perl one liners for bioinformatics data processing tasks. Designed for you non-coding-biologists friend, the Scriptome is available in Unix and Windows versions. The concept is introduced in the following article: Data Munging for Non-Programming Biologists.

One of my greatest concerns in talking to people about biologists' data munging is that people don't even realize that there's a problem, or they think it's already been solved.
