@RosaCtrl in my case it's both. Beyond grep's/sed's (extended) regexes, I know very little awk. But Perl is far more powerful than sed+awk, since it's an actual Turing complete language. I'm obviously more comfortable with it too, since I know it relatively well, and I know many of its idioms.

@RosaCtrl now, from the other answers you gave, you said you wanted the "smallest" additional tool, so perl shouldn't even be an option then. It is a fully interpreted language, with bytecode and everything, after all.
