Perl has developed enough that you can do a pretty wide scope of things
with it. I find it's well suited for rapid proof-of-concept work for any
kind of system or network management task. For large systems though, prove
it, and then do it in C/C++. For smaller automation tasks, it's great, and
quick to develop/modify.
