One reason would be that not all UN*Xs have perl installed by

Sed and awk are always there. So albeit a better tool,

If you have shell access, install it in your home directory.
wget http://www.cpan.org/src/stable.tar.bz2 and compile/install
Or for prebuild binaries of an older version:

I hear people say these things, but am skeptical. Still the foolishness

I work in a Federal data center. We house a lot of different agency
systems. The projects I am on, let me do what I think is best, while
other groups tell my peers this is what you have to work with. We have

must do certain things. I'm glad I don't manage these systems.
