I'd just follow this up by putting in a plug for Python. An advantage of Perl/Python/Java/etc. is that they're cross-platform, as Martin said. Another is that unless you're doing something extraordinarily cpu-intensive, they can be pretty darned fast, even though they're not compiled languages in the normal sense (bytecode vs. compiled). All three support object-oriented design, if you care about that (Java the best; Perl the worst, but it's there). My main reason for favoring Python is that Python code is incredibly easy to read, and very easy to generate. I've learned a bunch of different languages; Python was by far the easiest. -c ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
