Perl or Applescript w/ Excel

I am about to write a script that takes a bunch of tab-deliminated text
files, extracts certain numeric data, performs simple arithmetic on the
extracted data, and outputs the new data to a workbook in Excel.

Does anyone have suggestions on whether to use Perl scripts or simply
Applescript? Is one easier to use when dealing with tab deliminated data
and/or Excel workbooks?

Thank you.

Pia
