*-"Geoffrey L.

This has been discussed, but not settled. Some love perl, some love pyhton, some love both and some love none. I don't think there will ever be a "standard" scripting language, but I guess perl is closest at the moment, with perl-base being in the base system and all. -- ...Unix, MS-DOS, and MS Windows (also known as the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly).
