Shell Scripting vs Perl scripting
Gents,
I have been working in a Solaris/Unix environment for about 9 months. I took some linux classses online before getting the job. But, I am not very good at scripting. I want to learn how to script. Do you think that I should start with Shell scripting or Perl? I wanted to continue with Perl, but in my Linux certificate class, I got introduced to Perl programming. But, I am wondering if I would be able to do everything I want to do with Perl in a Unix environment, or if for something I would have to know shell to get them done? Can you please advise?
