Why just limit yourself to AWK or Perl? What about cut(1), join(1), sort(1), etc.?
These are good options as well. I'm just comparing the capabilities and perl and awk on this matter because a colleague of mine is a die- hard Awker and I myself have an affinity for Perl. Curiosity temps me to pick the brains of the experts some times. :-)
