>I'm sure those things make sense when all you write is Bash

Not really. Bash is known to be incoherent (due to legacy). You eventually getting accustomed to its quirks but they still remain absurd and may unexpectedly bite you someday. Perl code can, and perhaps will (it's humorously referred to as a write-only language afterall), get hard to read but at least is more robust.
