[KLUG Members] Scripting language

[MPs]

I personally use perl. I found it easy to setup and easy to learn with
o'riliey (sp?) books Learning Perl and Perl In A Nutshell. Also it was
easy to interface with SQL, albiet MySQL.

 One thing to note: JavaScript is not Java.

I do wonder about otherpeoples preferences.
