Knowing the bourne shell is essential for UNIX system administration, I think, since you will be spending a lot of time in it.

Perl is less essential, and sometimes unhelpful if you use it to approach problems from the wrong angle -- looking at some of my old Perl scripts, they are line after line after line of system("shell program"); By just writing them properly in shell I could have made them two thirds smaller and 90% simpler.

MojoMojo::Controller::Admin(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			  MojoMojo::Controller::Admin(3pm)

NAME
MojoMojo::Controller::Admin - Site Administration DESCRIPTION
Action to handle management of MojoMojo. Click the admin link at the bottom of the page while logged in as admin to access these functions. METHODS
auto Access control. Only administrators should access functions in this controller. settings ( /.admin ) Show settings screen. user ( .admin/user ) User listing with pager, for enabling/disabling users. role ( .admin/role ) Role listing, creation and assignment. create_role ( .admin/create_role ) Role creation page. edit_role ( .admin/role/ ) Role edit page. handle_role_form Handle role form processing. Returns true when a submitted form was actually processed. update_user ( *private*) Update user based on user listing. precompile_pages Make a formatted version of content body and store it in content.precompiled. This makes MojoMojo go zing, when loading content for page requests. Depending on the number of pages, and versions of them, this could take some minutes. For 2000 page versions on a 2.4 GHz desktop this script took about 3 minutes to run. delete Delete a page and its descendants. This is in MojoMojo::Controller::Admin because we are restricting page deletion to admins only for the time being. TODO: this method should reside in the Model, not in a Controller (issue #87).
