The two languages are so different. Perl is a highly flexible and relatively easy to learn SCRIPT language. You can develop pretty fast using it, and it's no problem for a skilled system operator or webmaster. Your scripts will be portable with some restrictions. But be prepared, to master the deeps may wait for a couple of months, or years. C++ (or Java) is high level, compiled programming language. The development takes more time, for sure, but gives you generally more speed and efficiency on the given hardware. Learning C++ is not easy, and may be suggested to a smaller audience, only. To be short: the difference is like a full-automatic car on the roads compared to a highly tuned Formula-1 racing machine. The decision is up to you, but if you have time enough try both :-)) Gabaux Linux is like a wigwam: no gates, no windows, and an apache inside! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
