These days Python and Perl are pretty safe languages which usually is part of most basic Linux installations. If you extend it to the BSD family, Perl is safest. However Python most likely have an easier learning curve than Perl. Both languages are, IMHO, good alternatives. But I generally find Python code much easier to to read. Performance wise, they can both perform very well. If you have no Python experience at all, I can recommend this book: <http://www.diveintopython.net/> -- kind regards, David Sommerseth
