Which language is better for text extraction and manipulation? CPAN is a beautiful resource for noobs too =)

He just wants to parse P99 logs and do some very basic stuff with it. He doesn't need the Death Star which is Perl.
TBH PHP (which can be ran as a CLI interpreter) is a pretty decent language to learn for a noob. Of course it's not really initially meant for text manipulation but it will get the job done and can potentially be SO much more useful later in life than Perl.
Also to write good Perl code your beard must at least reach your belly button.
