Since Perl has been around for a looong time, there are a multitude of readymade scripts available from CPAN and other places.....Also, for specific and repetative tasks involving running back and forth between database and requests, perl is simpler. In such cases, Python can be a pain, though modules are available. As somebody has already said, Tom Christiansen's comparision of Perl/Python is worth a look..... Anyway, Python as a language is far more "elegant" than PERL. ANd yes, it IS a case of personal preference.....u tend to do things with tools u are comfortable with :) **************************************** Sthitaprajna @mailandnews.com **************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on the LIH mailing list see: http://lists.linux-india.org/lists/LIH
