</div>Given the OP: PERL or PYTHON. Which one<br>
<br>
I would say Python. I would also recommend first learning the basic<br>
syntax, up to list comprehensions, exceptions and classes. (lamda,<br>
decorators and metaclasses can come later.) once you know the basic<br>
syntax, pick some specialty/project:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net" target="_blank">http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net</a> <a href="http://carlfk.blip.tv/file/2557425" target="_blank">http://carlfk.blip.tv/file/2557425</a><br>
plotting library<br>
<a href="http://www.djangoproject.com/" target="_blank">http://www.djangoproject.com/</a> web framework<br>
<a href="http://www.reportlab.org/" target="_blank">http://www.reportlab.org/</a> PDF library<br>
<br>
Something that interests you - get involved. great way to learn the<br>
language and a project.<br>
