This is possibly the best answer. I won't give any other.

why thank you.

there are basically two reasons that one should
be playing with 'just perl stuff' -

        a. they have hashes well done, so if you NEED
                to have a well managed associative array, it just works

        b. perl has the best available RegEx engine short of
                bit twiddling one's own lex and byacc - this saves on
                a lot of complex wing-ding-ding to do it in say sed/awk/grep
                and can be done in one Process vice forking for ever...

after that it's the name space management solutions that
come with having perl modules....
