Which language should I learn?

Name: Anonymous 2011-01-25 19:35

Python or Perl?  And which version of them?  And what is the best book for learning that language?

Learn both. Latest versions of each. Internet tutorials.

Yes, even Duke Nukem Forever has a more realistic scheduled release date than Perl 6 does.

anything over 5.8.3 is ok to get started with. Perl runs on over 100 platforms. The latest version (5.12.3) is always recommended where possible.

If you standardize on 5.8.* you're missing out. There are better practices in some cases which later versions make available.

5.10 is nice (mostly for the recursive regexen), but hardly worth the version bump.  5.12 is utterly pointless.

Don't change these.
