[ale] Bash vs Perl

[Michael Potter]

Chris,

Did you attend my bash presentation several years ago?

I wrote it after struggling with how unreliable bash is compared to Perl.

I can give the presentation again on goto meeting or at an ALE meeting.  I
am booked for the rest of the year, but I can do it next year.
