Ruby, Perl and Python are all scripting languages and, in many ways, fairly similar. I wouldn't really call Ruby a different "zone" than Perl. I'm going to advocate C/C++ or Java again. As much as you've heard about Ruby, I assure you C/C++ and Java are far more popular and used. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
