Learning Scripting

Hi All,

I am facing an issue. I need your advise. I want to take my unix skills to the next level. I want to verse in scripting now. I got some understanding of programming. I did a little bit of C++, Assembly in College.
I got some basics in perl. I am wondering if It would be best to familiarize myself more with perl or to start learning KSH. I am asking because I wouldn't like to keep learning Perl and than I need to do some stuffs that I can't do in perl and that would be easier in KSH. ( I am saying KSH because I could see a lot of people are using it).

So, If you think that it would be best to master KSH first, please recommend the best book for me to get. So, my bigger problem is which language I need to focus on now: Perl or KSH?

Please note, I alreay read a lot in the FAQ in the forums on that matter and didn't find the ansswer to my specific matter.

Thanks so much,

Pouchie1

vpl2mod

VPL2MOD.1(1)						      Sword Module Utilities						      VPL2MOD.1(1)

NAME

       vpl2mod - tool to convert verse per line source to SWORD module

SYNOPSIS

       vpl2mod SOURCE PATH [0|1] [0|1]

DESCRIPTION

       This utility is used to create SWORD module from the verse per line formated source. The resulting module will be saved in the path
       specified.

OPTIONS

       [0|1] [0|1]
	   The first option indicates whether to prepend verse references or not.  The second option is to indicate whether module is NT only or
	   not.

NOTE

       With no verse references source file must contain exactly 31102 lines. This is KJV verse count plus heading for the module, testament, book
       and chapter. An example snippet follows:

	MODULE HEADER
	OLD TESTAMENT HEADER
	GENESIS HEADER
	CHAPTER 1 HEADER
	In the beginning...

       This example implies there must also be a chapter 2 header, Exodus header, New Testament header, etc. If there is no text for the header, a
       black line must, at least, hold place.

       With verse references, source file must simply contain any number of lines, that begin with the verse reference for which it is an entry,
       e.g.:

	gen 1:0 CHPATER 1 HEADER
	get 1:1 In the beginning...
