To me, Perl changes the world for me as I go along.

As issues crop up in my daily work, Perl resembles the swiss army knife, which when applied carefully turns up the swift solutions.

But of course, as with a real swiss knife, some problems need specialized tools. The more you try to use and apply Perl, the easier it will be for you to identify the need for special (other) tools.
