Thank you for the reply, and Honestly I'd never heard of it. I do have the Learning Perl Book, and I've also got a bunch of Books I've downloaded for Perl, and I have a decent amount of books on each of the three (Python, Perl, Ruby) so I could do that. But I'm going to look into RPerl, as that sounds very interesting to say the least.

Yea I'm not in charge of any machines other than the ones I have in my home, and I used to have 11 Computers I used for various tasks, like one machine was a Linux box that I used mainly for making Music with LMMS, and I do enjoy making Music; I play Instruments, and I also use Computers to make music as well. Most of it ends up being Industrial sounding, and I've gotten a lot of compliments for how I use Samples and things from other people. I also make Punk, and some weird mixes of Rock-A-Billy / Psychobilly, and Metal, and then I've also made some weird stuff that sounds sort of like "Heavy techno" lol. Then I have the very first Computer I ever bought, which is still kicking lol. I use that as my FTP Server so that my Wife and I can back up stuff to one machine, and then from there, back up to USB Drives and CDs and so on. I do a lot of back ups because I've destroyed my file systems a few times, unlinked a File System or two, and even had physical damage to machines, so I try to stay up on back ups and things. Thanks again everyone, I really appreciate any opinions, and I'm looking into a lot of stuff now. I really was surprised about RPerl, I'd never heard of that before, and so it's nice to see something new from a question. Thanks very much everyone, -Allen
