<p>Fellow monks</p>
<p>I work as a System Administrator, and I extensively use Perl every time that this means that it can help me to accomplish my job faster, automatically or more easily, that means: often.</p>
<p>Of course, I know how to make some shell scripting and I know how to mix grep, awk, sed together but...</p>
<p>...but I feel that it would be a good thing to know another programming language besides Perl, too.</p>
<p>I tried to think about it, but there is too much noise around (<i>Java! Java!</i>, or <i>use Python!</i>, or <i>why not PHP?</i>)... so much noise that I can't understand what is the good answer to the question:</p>
<div align="center"><b>What language would be more useful for a System Administrator that already knows Perl and wants to learn a second programming language?</b></div>
<p>Any good advice?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot</p>
