Perl is outstanding for text handling,
so is Python. :)

I don't doubt it. But I just never took to Python. No particular reason: the relationship simply didn't work out. So, I mentioned the one I know something about.

but I've heard nothing but horror stories about using it for GUI apps. (It's my preferred language, by the way, so I'm not picking on it, just reporting what I have read.)
I have a self-developed GUI with more than 2000 sliders in it - works just fine.

Perl as such has nothing to do with GUI, rather, it helps because of anonymity/closures, but the performance/quirks are mostly due to underlying C/C++ GUI tollkit.

Take your pick.

If "statistics" are most important to you, then perhaps none of the above is the "right" answer. Maybe you need to use SAS or SPSS.
