A lot of sysadmin stuff is really well supported in Perl. However, I do a lot of sysadmin work and I&#x27;ve never learned Perl. I use shell scripts, awk, sed, et. al, and when necessary to go beyond that I&#x27;ll reach for Python (or lately, Ansible) because I find it so much more readable.<p>I have no plans to look at Perl 6.
