I would gladly use ruby or python for scripting but they're just not
included in most installs by default.  Rather than try to fight with the
UNIX/Linux teams, I just use bash, ksh or perl.  My chief complaint with
perl is the kludgy way perl has of editing a file.  I can write a perl
one-liner that edits a file but can't, from within a perl script,
directly edit a file.

I still love the old maxim:

"If you have a problem, you can use Perl....Now you have two problems"
