Perl vs. VBScript

Posted Thu, 10/28/2004 - 15:25 by metarobert
I'm torn. Perl is so nice, but doesn't appear to be important to my career as a systems engineer as far as employers would care. VBScript, on the other hand, sucks, but is more suited as a "bragging" item in the Windows world. Plus, some of the hooks into services/apps like Exchange, Outlook, MS SQL, the Windows OS's seem to be better. Perl has a gazillion modules, but the Windows oriented stuff is sometimes strong, sometimes very, very weak. Any comments? Anyone? ...Bueller?
