“Normal people believe that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet.” - From a random email floating through the InterWeb

You used Perl to write what? is a very nice article about when to program in Perl and when to choose some other language.
‘Diff’ is a Linux tool for comparing text files. Windows Diff programs typically display the selected files side by side, with the differences highlighted. In it’s simplest form Linux Diff just displays the list of differences.
Any Diff program is a great way to figure out which of two similar files is better, or to pick out the best parts of each file. I love Diff; but as a Windows user choosing the right Diff program can be tricky.
