Moving from Perl to Python

[Nathan Gray]

Richard,

Here's something kinda neat:
http://starship.python.net/~da/jak/cookbook.html

It's a Python/Perl Phrasebook with side-by-side listings of common
idioms.  The 'last modified' on the page says 1995 so not everything will
be current, but it may be a good way to bootstrap yourself into the basics
of Python.
