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.

NAME
LedgerSMB::DBObject::Admin - User/group management for LedgerSMB
SYNOPSIS
User/group management for LedgerSMB
INHERITS
Universal
LedgerSMB
LedgerSMB::DBObject
METHODS
save_user
Saves a user optionally with location and contact data.
If the password or import hash values is set, will not save contact or address information.
This API is not fully documented at this time because it is expected that it will be broken down into more manageable chunks in future
versions. Please do not count on the behavior.
delete_user($delete_role)
Deletes a user specified by $self->{user_id}.
if $delete_role is true, deletes the role too.
search_users
Returns a list of users matching search criteria, and attaches that list to the user_results hash value.
Search criteria:
username
first_name
last_name
ssn
dob
Undef matches all values. All matches exact except username which allows for partial matches.
list_sessions
returns a list of active sessions, when they were last used, and how many discretionary locks they hold. The list is also attached to
the active_sessions hash value. No inputs required or used.
delete_session
Deletes a session identified by the session_id hashref.
save_roles
Saves the roles assigned to a user. Each role is specified as a hashref true value, where the key is the full name of the role (i.e.
starting with lsmb_[dbname]__).
get_salutations
Returns a list of salutation records from the db for the dropdowns.
get_roles
Returns a list of role names with the following format:
{role => $full_role_name, description => $short_role_name}
The short role name is the full role name with the prefix removed (i.e. without the lsmb_[dbname]__ prefix).
get_countries
Returns a reference to an array of hashrefs including the country data in the db.
Sets the same reference to the countries hash value.
get_contact_classes
Returns a list of hashrefs ({id =>, class =>}) relating to the contact classes.
