"needs a good push" <-> "in most of the cases, not as good as Perl" :-). Let me put it this way - many people simply didn't have enough ... guts to really understand Perl. For example, from a forum I recently discovered Python does not have built-in multidimensional arrays. Where Perl really excels is data structures, which along with scoping are a very elegant way to achieve readability, debuggability, modularization. And probably Perl is the best WRT regular expression - PCRE has become a de-facto standard of non-Perl application because the latter strive to be like Perl. If you are interested, I can cook up some examples - typically other languages fail miserably when people try to reimplement the same things in them. Regards, Sergei.
