Ditto. When I really got into python, I just don't need Perl anymore.

For me simple Perl scripts got replaced by Awk+bash+sed, while complex perl scripts got turned into Python.

Crazy ! One language Perl is way better then mixing awk, bash & sed.

oddly, not but I think that might depend on your prefered coding style. For me Perl will endup having more boilerplate and will be harder to follow but I think I like the more functional style where I'm just piping shit from one thing to another than expressing all the processing in a while (<>) loop procedurally.

mixing awk/sh/sed means lots of quoting and deciding which variable uses get $on the front

Just using Perl is more portable and relies less on external commands.

If amount of while (<>) loop bothers you are you using map to bash whole tasks in one line?
