	Writing scripts in C++, you'll just die of brain burn.

	Python has very good shell integration and I heard it can do funky stuff  
with COM/OLE with a few lines of code where you'd need a few pages worth  
of impossible to understand COM code to do the same in C. Also basic shell  
tasks like spawning processes, piping from / to their output, regular  
expressions, parsing files, etc are a breeze. There are modules for INI  
files, csv files, etc.

	Perl should be about the same, but you have to like the scary syntax.
