It's also a good language for many system management tasks. The CPAN is Perl's module repository and is where users should turn first for code that implements solutions to already-solved problems.

It's also a good language for many system management tasks. The language is intended to be practical (easy to use, efficient, complete) rather than beautiful (tiny, elegant, minimal).
