What a fantastic idea... I would find a way out of my busy schedule to attend a meeting that focused on scripting languages. Even better if someone could take the lead on best approaches... ie. the pythonic approach vs. the perlish approach to a problem, or what scenarios are best to use a walk vs. a regex.... that sort of stuff. Ultimately though, it may turn into a debate rather than an informative meeting... but as long as we all accept that each language has its own place and purpose, it could be a lot of fun. With regard to this thread: I favor Python as my scripting language of choice, though I admit that it takes 12 lines of py code to do the same as 3 lines of pl code... but at least 6 months down the road, I can still figure out what my (or someone else's) py script is doing upon review.... without a reference guide, or contextual details. -- To err is human... effective mayhem requires the root password!
