in reply to I first became interested in Perl because...

We switched from IBM mainframes to Unix at NASA back in the late 80's (just about when Perl 5 came out). One of the field engineers for the Convex machines said, "Look, you could learn shell, sed, awk, and C, or you could just learn Perl and do everything you want to anyway."

It was good advice.
