[Corpora-List] What is best for text processing Perl of Python?

[Bill_Lang(Gmail)]

I suggest Python.
You can refer the following book:
Text Processing in Python
http://gnosis.cx/TPiP/

And there is a famous toolbox named as NLTK which is implemented in Python.
http://nltk.sourceforge.net/

If you want to learn more, you can visit the biggest python depository
http://www.python.org/

Through my experience, Python is more readable and maintainable than Perl.
Many companies are using python for inner processing.

Best wishes;
