programming languages

[Brian Densmore]

If you were only going to learn one and you are using Linux, it would
be my suggestion that you learn either PERL, Python, or Ruby.
PERL having the largest base [and required for many things in Linux], 
Python not far behind, and Ruby the challenger. PERL will probably 
remain king for some time.
