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.

RE: [LIH] Python and perl.
I find python simple to learn even for beginners. I have initiated my daughter, who is 12 years old, to programming using python. She found it easy and did a few programs on her own, mostly math related. With this experience in hand I would not hesitate to say, Python can be the first language to be taught. Earlier I used to program in lisp, which is clearly slower than python. Python is possibly faster among the interpreters, but I have to check.

Re: [LIH] Problem with Lilo boot
Hi No this is not the case. It does not read the conf file every time. See, lilo modifies mbr. When it's reading mbr it does not know what operating system and file systems it's going to handle. If I set win95 and win98 dual boot using lilo, how do you expect lilo to read /etc/lilo.conf when it does not know where linux resides? That's not the point. You try running lilo after you change /etc/lilo.conf and see if it continues the same faulty functionality. If it does, then we need to pondr over the problem.

Re: [LIH] Problem with Lilo boot
changing lilo.conf does not helps, this i have observed, even when default=dos line is there, even at the time of installation , if u change default to dos , still lilo boots linux as default, but 2 ways u can certainly change 1. boot into linux and at command prompt type $ lilo -D dos (pcquest , issue i don't remember, on cover was "build ur own computer" ) 2. use linuxconf to change the default OS ; this also works HTH rajeev "Dr. Sarat Kumat Patra" wrote: > Hl. > > 1.

With due apologies to Perl fanatics, I'll say that Python is much neater, syntaxwise. In a way, closer to C...Since most people out here are somewhat familiar with C++ rather than Perl at teh outset, Python is easier to relate to.. Perl has its uses of course, it does incerdible things when u have a database to maintain..it just does away the need to write huge code in C.

[LIH] Problem with Lilo boot
Hi All, I have the following problem with lilo boot: I am using Win 98 and Linux 6.1(Redhat) with Lilo boot for selecting O.S. at boot time. I installed Win 98 first and next installed Linux as "Gnome workstation defauli" (Nov 99 PCQ CDROM). When machine starts the default OS selected is Linux. I want to make Win98 as the default O.S. I have done the following but it doen't help. Any ideas will be helpful. 1. I changed defalt O.S. with liloconf and made DOS as default but still the machine starts with Linux as default. 2. I checked the /etc/lilo.conf file in this file the default is set to DOS also but the ,achine starts with Linux as default when started. Any help witll be very helpful.

RE: [LIH] Python and perl.
I tend to agree with Arun. Like Mukund I too was confused whether to use Perl or Python and how much time to spend to learn it. I would like to add that in terms of semantics and structure Python is kinda more structured (logical?) whilst Perl is more "loose". Speedwise certain tasks are done better by Python. In terms of writing code, Python is easier because indentation takes care of many things. These are only personal opinions - please visit www.python.org and decide for yourself. Also Perl has been around longer so there are already many advantages in terms of code (Perl Modules).
