Thanks. Too heavy for my use. Then C is very definitely too heavy.
The only thing I can think of that's lighter than Python is shell. Even Ruby is heavy compared to shell.
Thanks. I happened to find a "Perl teach yourself" book 10 yrs old but with some good examples. Maybe I should settle for that.
Err, you think Tcl/Tk is 'heavy' while Perl is 'lightest'? I'd be interested to know how you came to that conclusion. :)
What can I say..Not enough data..garbage in garbage out. Need to study in more detail these programs. While looking to the examples of Perl it looked like something I do remember out of the past. But 10 yrs old. In computers that is probably centuries. I do thank you for your concern. There is no rush I just have to take this slowly. The input from different people does help. Everybody does have his/her number one for whatever reason. Do have a nice day. Reagards Johan Sch
Please note that I do use Perl a lot and that I didn't recommend it to you for a reason. It has a very big surface area (a lot to learn). A ten year-old book will not teach you modern Perl.
If you do want to put in a lot of hours then learning Perl can certainly be thought-provoking. As has been said, there are answers to many questions on CPAN, but finding the best answer can take much effort.
Cheers, Dave
