My rule of thumbs: Whenever I feel like it, I'll write simple stuff with bash. If it takes 10 lines or so, it's not simple anymore (for me), so Perl takes over. If it takes command line switches, it's not something simple (for me) too, so Perl takes over as well. For simple switches I'll just use -s switch because it's simple and nice. However, for rather complex switches I'll turn to the standard Getopt::Long.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
