Hi,

I am looking for a good general purpose scripting language. What are the differences between Ruby, Python and Perl. Which is better?

very once and a while someone opens this same thread. Well.. there are plenty of differences.

What should I use for GUI development (Qt, Tk, or ??)?

WideStudio. It supports C/C++, Perl, Ruby, and Python. So the APIs are the same. No learning 2 million APIs per toolkit.

The APIs are the same in every langauge so its easy, unlike most bindings for toolkits out there.
