What about C++ toolkits (fundamental classes such as hash tables, linked
lists, ... )? I'm trying to understand the trade-off between LUA
(another language to learn) or C++ (need to re-invent the wheel or learn
about a toolkit) verses Perl (does everything I need but is apparently
too big for embedded apps unless the entire embedded app is Perl-based).

I've ordered the LUA books from Amazon and I'll look at them, but...

Given that I'm 62 years old, I admit that my enthusiasm for learning yet
one more programming language to add to the dozen or so that I already
speak is quite low.

Thanks,
-Tom
