I thought that Perl came first to you, and then Python and Ruby in that order.

As I said in the original post, I need a natural programming language, so Perl
is not an option.

I won't leanr Ruby because simple I don't have time.

Tcl looks good but it is completely new to me.

An old-school who has just came back to the list has sent me an private email
that persuaded me: Stick with PHP!

Well, rather than learning a new language, I think bash + PHP are good
enough for me :)
