They are different languages. Perl is very powerfull if you use it knowing potential problems. Python is definitely much easier to learn and use. "2. Is there a good book to start with while learning Python? I'm currently reading 'Python Essential Reference' by David M. Beazley. So far it looks like a pretty good book, but would like more tutorials to work with (I've also been reading through the tutorials at 'python.org' which has some excellent stuff!)." I would suggest you to read Dive into Python. Very deep descriptions..... 3. I vote for Emacs :-)) Gabor Urban NMC - ART
