Try perl, you'll like it. We'll ignore the fact that, back in the nineties, at the end of the 104 or so page man page, the secret was that it stood for P(athologically) E(clectic) R(ubbish) L(ister)....
And if you are going to write anything that will take more than about half a page, do a search on CPAN and you will likely find it is already done as a module with examples of how you write your one line with the parameters to invoke it. For those advocating other languages, please provide the equivalent location of a repository of available code. Java might be getting close in terms of available library and database connector code, but I don't think there is a centralized way to find anything.
