I'm not entirely sure if this is the best language to program this specific program.
You mention "best", but which measurement are you using? Best speed wise? (Nope, don't use Perl). Best memory usage? (Nope, don't use Perl). Runs on all the important platforms? (Nope, don't use Perl). Has the most coders available on the jobmarket? (Nope, don't use Perl) Has the best type checking at compile time? (Nope, don't use Perl) Uses as little "line noise" as possible? (Nope, don't use Perl) Went through a standardization process? (Nope, don't use Perl) Is never the butt of Internet jokes? (Nope, don't use Perl) Is used by all the cool kids? (Nope, don't use Perl) Comes with a GUI build in the language? (Nope, don't use Perl) Is a child of the 21st century? (Nope, don't use Perl) Doesn't show UNIX heritage? (Nope, don't use Perl) Has Unicode support that just works? (Nope, don't use Perl) Has threads build in, instead of bolted on? (Nope, don't use Perl) Everything is an object? (Nope, don't use Perl)

Frankly, I cannot give you any reason why you should use Perl. But if Perl suits your mind set, by all means, use it.
