Hi Amol,

This is a very broad question that in reality is going to start a huge
debate.  Now personally I use perl for all of my scripting needs.  It's
easy to use, and has a very large user community to find help and ask
questions. Perl can, in numerous cases can replace shell scripting, and
can be supported on multiple platforms.  All in all the language of
choice that is best for you will be one that you are most comfortable
with.  Any one of your choices that you listed can be used for "network
security purposes".

My $.02

Hi folks,
What can be the best scripting language that will allow me to write
scripts needed for network security purpose.
It shoul be extensible,can import various libraries,and be able to run
on multi platforms.

What can be the best option among:

1>SHELL SCRIPTING
2>RUBY
3>PERL

What are their strengths and weaknesses.


Thanks'
