Like all such lists, the problem is that you'll never see those things
that can be done in Perl and not in Frontier and vice versa.  Some of
the Perl also seems a little constrained.  For example, if I wanted to
read an entire file into a variable, your way would work well enough,
but I might do $s = join("",<FILE>); and not have to muck around with
$/. Or put the whole thing in a block so I could use local:

{
    local ($/) = undef;
    $s = <FILE>;
}


}
