More portable like... ?

perl is probably more portable than sh, grep, etc. if we're talking about 
Windows.

And make and friends don't exactly support every feature needed out of a 
buildsystem, which is why they support calling external programs. ;)

It would perhaps be possible to port things that don't really need perl on a 
case-by-case basis if they need to be on Windows and our normal UNIX-y 
platforms, but I would hope it's only using perl if it needs to already.
