I'd still recommend learning to do it in perl as being likely faster and more 
generally useful, especially if the sql db you mentioned can be accessed 
directly. The regeps will be approximately the same and it is easy to find perl 
example code for DBI operations and manipulating files.  And unlike working in 
shell/awk/editors, you very seldom find an operation that perl can't do itself 
so it often ends up simpler than the shell wrapper you need for other tools.
