Sed (and awk) are much lighter than perl. So if you find yourself
peppering your shell scripts with lots of little calls to "that
other program", you'll be better off with those two.

Perl will be useful if you are doing the heavy lifting in perl
itself. Then it amortizes (I think this goes for both: computer
run time and your brain time).
