At this point, there's absolutely nothing that Python can do that Perl can't, and very likely vice versa. However, from personal experience, I know that Larry Wall understands Object Oriented Programming, and Guido definitely doesn't get it. Obviously, other people have worked on both languages, but keep that in mind. I can present my evidence of how Guido doesn't get it in a longer post, if prompted. -- Randal L.
