Anyway after using Linux quite a long time opening shell window (zsh in my case :-)) and typing in some sequence of commands (usually some combination of fidn, awk, sed or some other common commands) is such natural thing as using screwdriver.

In my understanding programming (to be strict "computer programming") is more complex activity and it implies usage of some programming language (which bash is not, is it?).

Using perl is possible, but there are other tools that can be used to get the thing I want. And learning them now, can (and usually is) beneficial in the future. @pulczynski:
