Long live Perl... it's my favorite CLI scripting language.

there are other good scripting languages but I know Perl so I've never really needed any of them
Same here. I started learning in 1995. I've learned and use other languages but if I have a choice then I use Perl. Most stuff I need to do at work is either Tcl for EDA tools or text report processing where I use Perl
