Well, that may be true. Do you python heretics have anything like CPAN?
(CPAN = Comprehensive Perl Archive Network, a huuuuge library of various, very
useful modules?) Does python interpreter contain a little report-writer?
How able is python's regular expressions parser and can it do everything that
perl can? I'm asking because I want to learn python as it is frequently used
to create nice GUI interfaces. Most of Red Hat "wizards" are python envelopes
of shell commands. I've also heard that it is much simpler to learn then perl.
Ite missa est, perl is the best.
