Perl and co. would work well in this situation, assuming everyone is 
running a unix variant, but I'm interesting in cross-platform 
development including GUIs (which seem to be covered by Tcl) and 
advanced graphics/sound (ie games ;) ans for that, scripting 
languages don't quite make it.
Under windows/macintosh, binaries are still the flavour of the day, 
and I'd expect it to stay that way for quite a while, seeing as most 
people outside the Unix world don't have perl interpreters.

You're right, I could learn network programming in any number of 
places, perl and C are kinda similar (I have a little bit of 
experience with both) so either would do. I said C++ in the first 
place though because OOP seems a lot neater to me than procedural 
languages.
