Good question, but I have to ask:

Is LPI really in the business of testing a candidate's direct knowledge
of awk, perl or <insert any tool here>?

I think not. I think LPI rather tests a bunch of tools and if the
candidate scores above 50% percentile on that section, then it's a good
bet they know other related tools well enough to make the grade.

I'd vote to include awk, but not perl. For the simple reason that every
question I can think of for perl tests perl's syntax; and this is a
sysadmin rating exam, not a programmer exam.
