RE: Dba tools on NT

To know Python is to love Python and eschew Perl... obfuscation is possible albeit more difficult. ;-)

Well, there is the obfuscated Perl contest, but that's intentional. :)

If you make use of 'use English;', the two character system variables can be replaced with readable names, though it involves a lot more typing.

I don't see how it's any less readable than C. I really don't know how to compare it's readability issues to other scripting languages, ( Python, Ruby, etc.) cuz I don't know how to use them.

DOH!!!! Ouch...(limping along)...come on now. Perl has won "awards" for it's "readability" and "maintainability". I'm not slamming Perl, it has saved my behind on W2K platforms, which has no real scripting language. And
I did advance order a copy of your book. Not that I want to be a Duhveloper...

Of course, you can say this about any programming or scripting language.

It all depends on the ability of the programmer.

And it's difficult to write, looks like scrambled eggs when your done, and impossible to maintain...

On the other hand, you could write the entire Windows XP operating system in
one line of Perl...including Internet Explorer.

Without a doubt - perl - get it free from www.activestate.com. Why use it? Well, it is so flexible compared to other NT/DOS scripting tools you'll wonder why you never had it before! It's also portable meaning all those scripts you write should work on multi platforms with just a little tweak!
