I thought about perl but I have to relearn perl every time I need to
use it - its the only languae I use regularly that I need loads of
reference books for - as a contrast whilst the C programming I am
doing for PD is the first C /C++ I have done for nearly 6 years
I can still remember a lot of the functions and libraries.
