Substitute perl for C and bash for awk.

Taylor's Laws of Programming

    * Never write it in C if you can do it in `awk'.
    * Never do it in `awk' if `sed' can handle it.
    * Never use `sed' when `tr' can do the job.
    * Never invoke `tr' when `cat' is sufficient.
    * Avoid using `cat' whenever possible.

And like all clever phrases, take with a grain of salt. :)
