Why just limit yourself to AWK or Perl? What about cut(1), join(1),

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. :-)
You could always use a2p(1) to convert his hard-to-understand awk
scripts into (hard-to-understand) Perl scripts. :-)
