This one contains stuff you probably know already, but it’s still a useful quick tutorial:
https://www.voxfor.com/how-to-execute-a-perl-script-in-linux-a-comprehensive-guide/
Another simple one: https://www.linuxbash.sh/post/integrating-python-or-other-scripting-languages
discusses integrating Perl and other script language tools into bash – just call the Perl (Python or Ruby too)
into your script, providing arguments. There’s no reason you can’t write 3 or 4 Perl scripts, or a mix of
Perl, Python, or even other Bash scripts (plus yad) and integrate them into a master bash script, so with
the collection of these thoughts, examples and ideas, a bash script might call a C or Java program in addition
to these, so you can combine all types and kinds of logic from multiple sources.
I once wrote an entire test harness with a master shell script that called well over thirty different
routines; some were bash scripts, I remember there was a Fortran program, disk stress management programs,
CPU load programs and much more, I hope I’ve made the point that by driving some logic with a bash script
you can basically call anything that can be either scripted or executed by a program.
