Perl is really nice when you are passing a lot of data around compared to bash. Enough struggling with parsing and escaping and bash arrays and you'll be better fit for perl very quickly.
Perl is also really fast to prototype with, with a lot of nice helpers for scripts like while(<>) { say $_; }, make writing oneliners/short scripts easy.
I find Perl is a good fit above bash.
