Because we need a more powerful scripting language than shell or batch files 
for many things. Many of the scripts in question were started by me and I use 
Perl. I will not write in another language. Some others are so old that they 
predate Python's very existence.

If someone wants to take over and write in CMake or in C++, be my guest. 
That's what Alexey did for the syncqt.pl script that predated even me. As far 
as I know, that removed the dependency on Perl to compile Qt or to contribute. 
What's left that you're seeing?
