I don't think they mix Perl and shell in the same files. It's just that
git is a collection of written-in-C "plumbing" and then some helpful
scripts on top of that plumbing. Some of the helpful scripts are
written in Perl, some are written in shell.
So to use git, you need a C compiler, a UNIX shell, and Perl. But I
think that setup is actually more common than Python, so it's not a real
loss. (Except on Windows that doesn't have a shell or a as-good-as-UNIX
perl. But Windows is lacking in a lot of other features too.)
Finally, for the record, git is not a good place to learn Perl from :)
But hey, it works.
