I'm using MySQL on Linux and have a weather database, with highs and
lows for every day.  I tried to construct a program in perl to give me
the temperatures for a given day, but could never get it to work, even
though I've done similar things with MySQL and perl on other UNIX
machines.  I then rewrote the program using python and  the MySQL
module, and it worked the first time.  I was amazed.
