PERL for BEGINNERS:
Far and away the most popular use of Perl is for CGI programming – that is, dynamically generating web pages. A whole chapter is devoted to introducing CGI programming in Perl. Perl is used its original purpose: extracting data from one source and translating it to another format. This covers everything from processing and summarizing system logs, through manipulating databases, reformatting text files, and simple search-and-replace operations, to something like alien, a program to port Linux software packages between different distributors'packaging formats. Perl even manages the data from the Human Genome Project, a task requiring massive amounts of data manipulation.
For system administrators, Perl is certainly the 'Swiss Army chainsaw' that it claims to be. It's great for automating administration tasks, sending automatically generated mails and generally tidying up the system. It can process logs, report information on disk usage, produce reports on resource use and watch for security problems. There are also extensions that allow Perl to deal with the Windows registry and run as a Windows NT service, not to mention functions built into that allow it to manipulate UNIX passwd and group file entries.
