Hi all,
I want to learn a new scripting language and now considering witch one.
Well Perl has some advantages over the others, in terms of practicality, not neccesarily being the best or easiest to learn. 1. There is an enormous source of pre-written code online for you to use and modify. 2. There is a large group of Perl Gurus who are online at such places as nntp.perl.org, http://learn.perl.org, and http://perlmonks.net. They will basically answer your questions for free, and usually within a matter of hours of asking it. 3. There is a huge collection of modules for doing different tasks at http://cpan.org. The other languages may be good or even better than Perl at certain things, but the above reasons should point you toward Perl. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
