Clojure can certainly do these things; clojure-contrib contains many
file and io-related utilities. But remember that Clojure, like any
Java program, takes more time to start up than "scripting" languages
like Perl/Bash/Ruby/Python, so it may be less suitable for programs
that you intend to run at the command-line.
Also relevant is the fact that launching Clojure from the command-line
is very inconvenient compared to scripting languages. If you want
something simple you can just put on your path, you'll need to wrap it
in a bash (or other language) script anyway to handle the classpath,
etc. The combination of startup time and the need to roll your own
bash script even for simple things has kept me from wanting to use
Clojure as a perlish-replacement.
