Thanks for your entertaining reply. Is it right like i seemed to have learned that it is "somewhat complicated" to manipulate files with Perl and Perl is better suited for "manipulating text" so i would use Perl for inserting the text and bash (or anything else) for manipulating file permissions, or i entirely use bash ...? What do you think of using "syscalls" from Perl to start a shell function?


Sorry for asking a no go question ...

I never was aware before that some things you would better not do in (or are even impossible) language "x" but that answers the questions why there are so many languages out there ...

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
