Yes, definitely try both, and maybe Ruby and, no joke, some Lisp

Python, which more fits my taste and my way of thinking. If I would
have to teach someone who doesn't know how to program at all, some
programming language, then I would almost for sure do this in Python.
It's easy to get a feel for both languages, though. For learning
Python I would recommend the tutorial by Guido van Rossum, which you
can read in one afternoon. I don't know similar Perl docs anymore, but
there sure are a lot. As you write, that you know C and C++: If Perl
is more like C, than Python is more like C++. ;)
Both Perl and Python have good libraries for handling soundfiles, too.
Ciao

As I'm a little picky on filenames aesthetics,
my next step is to
translate this script into another language, in order to be able to
parse HTML files to get proper filenames included therein. I've
been hesitating between Perl and Python (as Frank Barknecht advised
me before), because both are multi-platform and can handle audio
files, as required for the final project. Which one would best
suit? I've been programming easy student software in C/C++, if it
can help.
I'd say take a look at both languages and try to write something
simple first and see which one feels better for you.
