Since Perl has been around for a looong time, there are a multitude
of readymade scripts available from CPAN and other places.....Also,
for specific and repetative tasks involving running back and forth
between database and requests, perl is simpler. In such cases,
Python can be a pain, though modules are available.
As somebody has already said, Tom Christiansen's comparision of
Perl/Python is worth a look.....
Anyway, Python as a language is far more "elegant" than PERL.
ANd yes, it IS a case of personal preference.....u tend to do things
with tools u are comfortable with :)
