> What's Perl good at or better than Python.
That's a FAQ, please see Re: Honest question about Perl, Python and Ruby (Comparing Programming Languages References) by revered brother eyepopslikeamosquito
update> because there's some text files that go 10000 lines or some that are 200MB PLUS in size The bottleneck for file-processing nowadays is the filesystem and it can't be parallelized. I.O.W. even if you use a language which is dozens of times slower you will hardly notice. That's because the process is mostly waiting for the disk to deliver.
