Perl gets an explicit citation in my (Computational Psychology) MSc dissertation because it was so heavily used in data preparation and translation. Some of the tasks perl was used for:
Perl is the most powerful and flexible tool in my toolbox, both professionally as a code monkey and academically as a student of psychology & language. One of the ways Perl scores, and this might be worth bearing in mind for teaching/promoting it in your field, is the ability to both write simple linear scripts to perform a given task, and to develop complex fully functional applications, in the same language, and with full interoperability. The other thing I would stress is CPAN - if something can be done, someones probably written a module to do it
