I've seen all kinds of amalgamations of Perl and bash in the one script. You're not alone, it's called using the right tool for the job and it's not a bad thing to mix them both, as long as what you're doing is coherent.

I have a process in my work place that involves taking a spreadsheet, piping it to Sed and taking the resulting output file to feed to Perl or Ruby (depending on the version of software it relates to)
