Steve,
I'm with you (thought I'd jump on your side before the perl sheep all
gang up on ya).
Now, if you're a dba, which I'm sure most of the listers are (I pity
you), then by all means, use
perl (have fun).
But, for us developers, well, python is just... Better. Period.
You can really do some nice things like OO programing ,functional
programming,
pass functions as parameters to other functions, etc... Cool stuff.=20
For a developer, if you needed scripting done, shell+sed+awk was
great.
C is beautiful for systems programming. Java is cool for web apps.
Python for everything else
(and for taking over your old shell/sed/awk stuff). Perl, has it's
place in DBA land and should stay there.
That's not to say Perl isn't a great tool, it is, but, we have your
toys and you have yours.

Having done both Perl and Python I'll concede that DBI DBD::Oracle is
superior. But the Python equivalent has been good enough for my
purposes. Attesting to Python's glue-between-systems-and-software
capabilities (like Perl), someone has developed a Python interface to
DBI. It doesn't seem to be used much in the Python community and it
seemed too weird so I never looked into it.=3D20

Btw, I've used and even developed my own HTTP web servers in Python. (I
demo'd it in my IOUG presentation.) Where can I find such a thing in
Perl?

I've been tempted to try Python, but have had no compelling reason.
If there was anything to compete with Tim Bunce's DBI and DBD::Oracle
modules, I would give it a try. But there isn't. DBI is the best open
source database interface available.
