The thing about bash is that it's much less powerful than perl, while at the same time being more prone to surprising, undesirable behavior and write-only code.

The worst of both worlds.

I agree that bash has a lot of flaws, but on the other hand it makes a much better shell than perl. I really value using the same language for ordinary interaction with my computer and automation of very simple tasks.
