Say we have project that requires web scraping. (parsing strings (< 40) and scraping web pages (geting meta datas and such)
I am aware of that perl has great and suited cpan modules for this job, so i can take that way and don't bother myself that much. But i don't have a clue about speed and memory related stuff.
So, which would you choose? (May be Python??) And in terms of speed which one is better for this job? Explain please...
Thanks in advance.
I would go with perl... I haired a rumor that was the language that google used initially...  Python is a good performance language as well.
