Perl is a full-fledged general-purpose language. Like all languages, there are tasks at which it excels and tasks at which it doesn't, but you can do most anything with it. Perl was originally, back in the bad old days, created as a replacement/extension for awk, which is a little language for text file processing. Sed is an even simpler text processor, strictly for stream editing. If you need to do anything beyond parse and munge text, sed and awk are Right Out. > i am on win nt server.
