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. :) 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.
