I would second this actually... there's a small learning curve to perl
but it's really very easy to get started with basic stuff - and I think
you'll find it a very worthwhile investment of your time. Basic scripts
are just about as simple as bash, but there's lots more room for
growth... and your code will run literally anywhere. :)
