Bash, Perl, Python???

[Chris Cowan]

I didn't know you could use php for shell scripting... very cool!! I think I
might take a look at perl. I've seen allot of jobs out there that require
Perl as part of the candidates skill set...

Thanks for all the comments... I always learn so much from this list...
