Advanced batch programming!!? (intemixing perl)

[Grand_Master]

I've always laught when peoples have said that they're expert in batch. (When they can make a batch-file that copies itself to autostart folder and reboot the system.)
But at the end I thought that I should learn batch, just to make some simple cmd-scripts. Maybe I could get some use for it some time. Besides it shouldn't take a lot of time to learn it properly.

Then I found this:
http://www.infionline.net/~wtnewton/bat ... de.html#7c

"Intermixing Perl and Batch", it said.

I don't know anything about perl, but if perl is a "real" programming language, maybe batch could be of some serious use.
What's the possibilities of perl?
Should I spend some of my time to learn batch, perl, and this intermixing technique?
(I'm currently studying C++ and Java, so I don't know.)

[macros]

I don't know it's nessasary to learn perl or no. I want to know this oneself

PS Do you work with UNIX? Can you recommend me a good book about UNIX?

I have no experience of perl but it's mostly used to make CGI-scripts on webpages.

yes, I guess you can say that perl is a programming language but it can't make .exe:s
you must have a perl-interpretor to use the code.

batch on the other hand is a great scripting language to fulfill your programs with.
I think it's always a good idea to know some basic commands.

I hope u'll get a good answer to this question

Go to the library, there's always something good in there.
Try to find 'UNIX for dummies'. the 'for dummies' books are good for beginners ( like me )

Phanks. I found many books about Unix already.
