[scripter]

I haven't seen the word RPG written down anywhere in the last 15 or 20 years. I had to write something in PHP for newspaper many years ago and don't remember it at all.

I've been writing in Bash and Perl for the past 5 weeks... While I love it, parsing custom log files without any real standards can really wear you out!

I used to script in Perl. Then, I rewrote one of my workhorse scripts (coincidentally, a log file analyzer) in Python. It ran in 1/3rd of the time.

I use regular expressions heavily. The re module in Python seems to be a lot faster than Perl.
