[NBLUG/talk] Perl vs other scripting methods

[matt]

Well the title is "Perl vs other scripting methods," and he wanted to do some 
scripting, and Perl vs. PHP was the first thing that came to mind. It wasn't 
that he wanted a comparison of Perl and PHP, it's that he wanted to get 
something done, and he asked how to do it, so I don't think recommending 
other scripting languages (Python, maybe Ruby if anyone likes it) was out of 
line...

You are able to read and write Perl relatively seamlessly, but I think that 
for a beginner (which it sounds like he is), he will get a lot more done in a 
shorter amount of time with Python.
