Definitely not.

Perl is perfectly good at text-munging.

Which I am totally uninterested in, as the data that I have is
*highly* structured, stored in relational database tables.

What I'm interested in running various sorts of statistical analyses
on that data.  The sorts of things for which one would use R, PSPP,
Octave, Matlab, and the like.

You can generate some pretty impressive summary graphs with R; it
generates some mighty elegant Postscript output, from the perspective
of looking at the PS code.

Of course, that's not my interest; what I want is to turn the results
into web pages for deployment via a web server.

Oddly enough, this is completely standard behaviour for shells. This
is a roundabout way of saying `don't use combined chains of `&&'s and
`||'s unless you think Gödel's theorem is for sissies'.
