I'd make the limit a lot more than 10 lines.
I certainly prefer Perl for large scripts (Python is good too but I happen to know Perl better), but I often have to write scripts for targets that have bash but don't have Perl or Python. Since I've been forced to use bash, I've found it to be a better scripting language than I expected it to be.
