in reply to perl not omnipotent? let's see!

Your claim is pointless. If you are smart and knowledgeable, you may do almost everything in every language.

Somebody even solved The N-queens problem using pure regexes. So Perl could do mostly everything, provided that you know how to. But the real question is "it is really worth doing everything in Perl?

See What is Perl *NOT* good at? for a more reasonable take of this issue.
