Interesting thread on comp.lang.perl.misc

[Ian Clarke]

There is an interesting thread discussing (in a more-or-less reasoned
way) the relative merits of Perl and Python.  It's called "Why use Perl
when we've got Python?".  Despite the provocative subject its not
designed to start an advocacy war, and there are some very interesting
comments being made about shortcomings in both languages.

If you know both Perl and Python, I am sure your contribution would be
welcomed.

Ian.
