Pick the quickest, easiest way.
Trust me on one thing, after 14 years of coding perl, this is most often the way that will get you instant gratification but you will regret later on

Not saying you shouldn't do it, I do my fair share of quick and easy hacks, but at any time where you might have to go back to that code in the future, you need to think about whether doing it quick and easy is the right way, out of all those ways to do it

I think in 14 years you have totally misunderstand the point of Perl.
