Its strange people of every generation, almost everyday keeps discovering the need for Perl.
Perl was made to solve precisely these kind of problems.
Just use Perl. Its fast, matured, has CPAN and is dedicated to maintaining backwards compatibility for years to come. Using anything else will not make all that much sense. You will be reinventing a whole universe(and badly from scratch). And achieve nothing at the end.

- actionfromafar 2y agoIf LLMs know Perl well, that might make me agree with you more actually. Then the LLM can be the ersatz greybeard refreshing you with what the script actually does.
- kamaal 2y agoI wrote 50K lines of Perl last month using co-pilot+vscode in a single day. Perl+LLM is a match made in heaven.
