I've sort of settled on python but I wanted to get some suggestions - I 
have a passing familiarity with it, but it's been a few years since I 
worked with it.... Perl and I most emphatically don't get along - 
usually I can't get past the first or second line of code without being 
completely lost and frustrated....  (Anyone remember APL-1?  Same thing...)

Great, I'll look that up.  That's really all I need; some database 
examples.  The rest of it is simple.  But for now the sun is up, 
(finally) and it's a holiday, so it's time to ride my bike to one of the 
local wineries for wine and barbeque.  :-)
