If nothing else, think of mobile devices. On my iPhone I can no longer swipe to scroll, instead I have to target the (very small on a mobile device) arrows.

Every point you gain on 'style' will lose at least 5 on usability. That's a really bad reflection on perl as well (IMO).

Blind people are unlikely to be able to navigate with a non-standard scrolling system (one might argue that you don't care, since they aren't likely to be playing games, but that's a pretty offensive point of view).

There's always compromises to be made; a web page isn't a static known-sized piece of paper.
