You're using a bad metric: one line of Perl is not the equivalent
of one line of C. C is barely a step above assembler, and Perl is
one of the most subtle and complex scripting languages around. This
usually means that you can write the equivalent of thousands of
lines of C in a few dozen lines of Perl which (Perl-hater that I
am) I recognise as a good thing. When you get to thousands of lines
of Perl, though, you're looking at a hell of a lot of code...
