I use perl when grep/cut/sed show their limits. I never really got into awk.

I suppose we all have our favorite tools.

I'm a heavy Perl user, too, but some stuff that is very succinct in awk is a bit more awkward in Perl. Most prominently when you're using $1, $2, etc. which are just there in awk but need a split/\s+/ in Perl.
