Point out the areas where Perl is good, point out the areas where Python is
good, encourage them to learn and use both, and try not to look too much
like a raving bigot.

And ask why there's no "Fun With Python" list. ;)

What I'd really like is a combined Perl/Python interpreter, so I can call
Perl code from Python and vica versa (like JPython does with Java). Guess
I'll have to start implementing that Python interpreter in Perl...
