Ahhh, perl.

Thank you for such a wonderful, witty reminiscence! In the 90s, perl was the "smarter" awk that became a fully fledged language and ecosystem of tools.

Lastly, whenever anyone brings up perl, I'm always reminded of this, most likely apocryphal, quote:

"What's that Daddy? It looks like swearing." -- Heidi Wall

That was in my fortune cookie .sig for years ;-)
