[Cialug] some truth to that

[Josh More]

I use it all the time when digging through file listings and parsing data feeds.

cut, paste, sed, awk and grep are my go-to tools.  If I need anything
more than that, I just whip up a Perl script.

Well, that's not entirely true.  Usually, I write a Python script,
fight with it for 15 minutes, then whip up a Perl script.
