Well, in some case, It's a tedious job to handle large numbers of log files(hundreds of or even more) manually, write scripts to handle it may seems more comfortabel and easier.

Hey man,
u cannot do everything in gui or just type command by command to work when some command takes hours and hours to execute. Also when u query on a huge MB of log file u have no other choice then to use scripting languages. The are other languages like awk, sed etc... also which server the same purpose.....

Most of the popular the front end tools having TCL shell in built , and they provide commands for performing various thing during a single run. More advanced users take that benefit and write TCL utilities inside the tool script to get job done. And for Perl I have seen , it is mostly used to run regressions script, automatic testbench generation, auto detection of PASS, FAIL , and many more applications.
