I generally agree with you but remember that if you are trying to make the perl script as portable as possible, you will want to avoid using unix commands if you can. Just minor differences between the GNU versions of the tools and unix (solaris,etc) versions can break the script because of slightly different behaviors. Also, cgi scripts where you will want to avoid calling the util progs for both security and performance reasons.

but that's just a 10 sec observation.

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
