Hi Amol, This is a very broad question that in reality is going to start a huge debate. Now personally I use perl for all of my scripting needs. It's easy to use, and has a very large user community to find help and ask questions. Perl can, in numerous cases can replace shell scripting, and can be supported on multiple platforms. All in all the language of choice that is best for you will be one that you are most comfortable with. Any one of your choices that you listed can be used for "network security purposes".
