Lets get off the religious wars. I used to believe that EMACS was God's on editor. I more recently switched to Atom. Pearl has its purposes. Several years ago I wrote a rather complex bash script, but it became unweildly so I ported it to tcl/tk. But I then ported it to Python for a number of business and reasons. Python has a number of good graphics packages, and moving from tcl to Python was pretty straight forward. Both Python and Pearl are excellent scripting languages for solving short term problems. I think that Rich Braun provided a quick and dirty solution for Rob even though Rob mentioned Pearl.
