Perl vs Python?
 

Hello all,

I am trying to do some serious self learning in the next few months. I have decided to start wtih learning either Perl or Python, and just wanted some opinions on both. I have some very basic programming knowledge, but for all intents and purposes you could consider me a beginner, but one who will be familiar with basic programming principles. My ultimate goal is to be able to program to help facilitate administering my own network. Thanks in advance.

Perl is what you want.

I don't have much experience with python but perl makes GREAT internet duct tape. Python is more readable to me than perl. Everything useful I've made has been in perl.
