in reply to C or C++ to go with Perl.
* C is the closets language to assembly. Which means it is really low level and you have lots of memory management to do.
* C++ may be difficult to use, because it is like C in some ways but a higher level of abstraction, plus you still have to control memory.
* C++ is easy to learn simple things.
* I would suggest learning C before C++.
