- Read in A
- Transform A -> B
- Write out B
This is why Perl has the easiest time adding new I/O formats to existing apps. DBI, CGI, HTML::Template or Mason, PDF::Template, Spreadsheet::, XML::, and on and on. All these I/O layers mean we can focus on the munging part without having to worry about how the stuff we're munging goes in or out.
As for best practices ... I dunno. Just don't be stupid and you'll be fine. It doesn't have to be perfect - good enough is, well, good enough.

Please remember that I'm crufty and crochety. All opinions are purely mine and all code is untested, unless otherwise specified.
