Sorry to get into this discussion so late - but too many people are picking on my favorite language - and I have to stand up for it. Perl is a great, smart, easy, cross-platform language that also has loads of code to view if you need to see how something is done. Perl has other advantages too - for instance, I bet every single web host that offers a cgi-bin will support Perl, but you can't say that for Python. Additionally, Perl can use the TK library (Perl/TK) just like Python. It can also use GTK and QT like Python. Perl has the support of major corporations such as Excite@Home, and from what an inside source tells me - even Microsoft. Perl will run on Unix, Windows 3.1, Windows 9x, NT/200, MacOS, and other operating systems. I could go on and on... Pick the "camel's choice" - you will be pleased. -Tim ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R. Butler Universal Networks Information Tech.

Hi there,
I need to learn a scripting language and I was just about to start with Perl. But then I read a very positive article about Python in the LinuxJournal (written by Eric Raymond). A lot of people recommend Perl, simply because the majority uses it. But is that a good enough reason?

It said "Needs Windows 98 or better." So I installed Linux...
