Perl related to VHDL/Digital

[Tan]

Hi
Now-a-days in every interview of digital design engineer companies are asking for Scripting language or they are preferring Perl.How is Perl useful in digital designing or vhdl? When I went through perl, I did not find anything related to vhdl or digital.Please clear my doubt.

Thanks.
