There are links to a number of python comparisons at http://www.python.org/doc/Comparisons.html , including a few specifically involving perl. I don't think there's a lot there regarding resource utilization, though there may be something of that sort... Ken Manheimer klm@digicool.com On Fri, 12 Feb 1999, Brad Clements wrote:

Essentially, I need to convince Novell that Python is a better language, or has more support, or more pre-packaged solutions, etc, than Perl, Java or Basic.
Does anyone know of any white papers comparing Python and Perl? Any "history of Perl" vs. "history of Python"?
Novell has a significant investment in server-side interpreted langauges already.
I'm also concerned about resource utilization, such as memory and processor time, for typical operations in perl vs. Python.
