Administrator

I use PHP for most daily sys-admin tasks.

The choice between Perl or PHP is personal, both are great! I used to program in Perl, but swiched to PHP for these types of tasks. I guess the reason is that it is easy for me to integrate PHP into web-based apps, the forums, word press, and other Internet apps.

PHP makes a very good general purpose scripting language and does not have to be used for just web based applications.

On the other hand, Perl is a great choice as well. So is Python. I just happen to like PHP these days!
