People would had such a take and tell to use perl twenty years ago. Looks where we are now. I'd rather have improved my shell scripting abilities right away.

It's a three (optional) steps thing really:

- I want something that can use on multiple systems right away (shell)

- Ok things getting a bit serious, I'll allow myself to add some pre-requirement tooling on the system (others script)

- pre-requirement sucks, I'll invest in native code tooling and produce binary (eg rust & go for the choices of the moment).
