There are several things common in all system administration jobs:
Verify that backups are happening and verify that they can be restored.
Check the mail system for error messages.
Check the file systems for sudden changes.
Check the printing system for problems.
Until you are comfortable with the system these should probably be daily.
Learn what the users need from you.
Learn the software that is being used.
Learn the hardware.
These are continuing issues. Better to know in advance what you may be called on to do and how to do it.

NAME
CPAN::Meta::Check - Verify requirements in a CPAN::Meta object
VERSION
version 0.004
SYNOPSIS
warn "$_
" for verify_requirements($meta, [qw/runtime build test/], 'requires');
DESCRIPTION
This module verifies if requirements described in a CPAN::Meta object are present.
FUNCTIONS
check_requirements($reqs, $type)
This function checks if all dependencies in $reqs (a CPAN::Meta::Requirements object) are met, taking into account that 'conflicts'
dependencies have to be checked in reverse. It returns a hash with the modules as values and any problems as keys, the value for a
succesfully found module will be undef.
verify_dependencies($meta, $phases, $types, $incdirs)
Check all requirements in $meta for phases $phases and types $types. Modules are searched for in @$incdirs, defaulting to @INC.
requirements_for($meta, $phases, $types, incdirs)
This function returns a unified CPAN::Meta::Requirements object for all $type requirements for $phases. $phases may be either one (scalar)
value or an arrayref of valid values as defined by the CPAN::Meta spec. $type must be a a relationship as defined by the same spec. Modules
are searched for in @$incdirs, defaulting to @INC.
