Aaron,<br><br>Thanks for the URL's, I'll have a look. I'll probably steer clear of the other list for now, as I probably need to get started on learning the basics, rather than chatting :-). As I said, something seems attractive about Perl, so I'll give it a go.

Hi Chris,<br><br>I find python isn't to my taste, I think it's mostly subjective, as<br>perl and python both have trade-offs if you pick one, so you might as<br>well use what you find most comfortable (and/or will pay your
<br>mortgage).<br><br>If you want to lurk and just absorb a little wisdom (and a lot of<br>sillyness, bad ideas and other noise) I'd suggest subscribing to<br><a href="http://london.pm">london.pm</a>, devon/cornwall perl mongers is a bit busier than
<a href="http://bath.pm">bath.pm</a> -<br>heck we even had a few meetings last year, including a technical talk<br>by yours truly on Maypole.<br><br>There are a lot of perl beginners resources, but you could start with<br>
<a href="http://lists.cpan.org/showlist.cgi?name=beginners">http://lists.cpan.org/showlist.cgi?name=beginners</a> and<br><a href="http://perl-begin.org/">http://perl-begin.org/</a> and <a href="http://learn.perl.org/">http://learn.perl.org/
