Hmm, some time ago I learned about c#sharp by reading the source to http://sourceforge.net/projects/shellify/ ... very similar to java (probably knew that)

Searching around now I found these interesting links :) weaker ones first
A Perl developer in the world of C#
some (weak) discussion of benchmark game http://www.curmudgeonlysoftware.com/2011/03/22/from-c-sharp-to-perl-performance/
C# & Perl | Dr Dobb's / C# & Perl | Dr Dobb's

The better links are below :) Having looked at the table of contents of
C# Programming - Wikibooks, open books for an open world
C# Essentials - Techotopia
C Sharp Programming Course (aka C# Yellow Book — robmiles.com)

they compare well to the table of contents of Modern Perl by chromatic

In short, looks like they'll teach you the mechanics of the language :)

For example, what does a smart C# programmer use that a smart Perl programmer uses Getopt::Long for?

I don't know but there is a getopt from gnu project for c#sharp says http://stackoverflow.com/questions/172443/getopt-library-for-c-sharp

Likewise, what's the C# alternative to Perl's Text::CSV_XS?

Good question :) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2081418/parsing-csv-files-in-c-sharp says FileHelpers are a free and easy to use .NET library to import/export data from fixed length or delimited records in files, strings or streams.

More generally, how would I craft the same kinds of command-line filters in C# that I'm so accustomed to whipping up quickly and easily in Perl?

So you have reading from STDIN ... checking args ... checking if files exist ... double.TryParse ... Regex regex = new Regex ... MatchCollection matches = regex.Matches(text);

That covers everything no? :)
