Hi, According to http://www.python.org/doc/essays/comparisons.html, it says
"Python and Perl come from a similar background (Unix scripting, which both have long outgrown), and sport many similar features, but have a different philosophy. Perl emphasizes support for common application- oriented tasks, e.g. by having built-in regular expressions, file scanning and report generating features. Python emphasizes support for common programming methodologies such as data structure design and object-oriented programming, and encourages programmers to write readable (and thus maintainable) code by providing an elegant but not overly cryptic notation. As a consequence, Python comes close to Perl but rarely beats it in its original application domain; however Python has an applicability well beyond Perl's niche." My question is that how to combine both python and perl to take advantages of both their strong aspects. Of course, I want to primarily use python---that is why I send this message to this group. I see a module 'perlmodule'. But I would like to know whether there are other tips besides using 'perlmodule' to take perl's advantage in python.
