Very little. But much of what I do depends on hashes
(associative arrays), which are built-in to perl.
Plus I attach the hash to a DBM file.
To do that in Ada, I'd have to not only upgrade Xcode
(not an option right now) and install Ada (easy, but
requires Xcode), but I'd also have to find or build
a hash package (not hard) and/or a DBM binding (a little
harder).
The right tool for the right job. Ada _usually_ is,
but not always.

When all you have is a perl, everything looks like a string.
