I have experience with Bash and Perl. I use bash for my shell, but I
don't use it for scripting very much any more. (There was a time though
when I did extensive bourne shell programming.)
I prefer to use Perl for most of my scripting.

Go to Google and enter "Perl vs Python" as your search. (This has been
debated extensively elsewhere and you can learn a lot about both languages
by reading these debates.) You might also try searching usenet.
