I too prefer Python with cx_oracle. I find Python so much easier to read and maintain compared to perl. Chris

Python, numpy, matplotlib, and cx_oracle have become "must haves" on my laptop. At this point I've at least broken even on the amount of time spent learning python vs the time I've saved using it and it's modules.

I respect perl as a language, but it's not for me.  At times I found it difficult to maintain scripts if I didn't revisit them regularly.  As a crutch I ended up with a gratuitous amount of in line comments.  I don't seem to have the same issue with python.
