UNIX has "wizards" too - and perl's origins as a super-awk place it firmly in the UNIX cultural tradition in a lot of ways. I write more perl than anything else but I work in shell, make, perl and C regularly depending on what level I'm trying to work at (and often think in lisp for prototyping). UNIX is my IDE. perl5 is my VM. CPAN is my language.
