Sure, you have to write more code, but Perl still hasn't stopped you from doing anything.
Surely you realize that you could substitute any Turing complete language (I prefer Unlambda) into that quote and you'd be 100% correct . Hell, you could probably acomplish 90% of what people use Perl for with regex only. See also, Turing tarpit.
