Thanks for all the responses.

FWIW: I did find some decent tutorials on the subect on sitepoint:

http://www.sitepoint.com/article/php-command-line-1
http://www.sitepoint.com/article/php-command-line-2

These tutorials go beyond "hello world" but they certainly don't
compare with the documentation given to using perl, or python, for sys
admin tasks. For example, there are at least two perl books
specifically dedicated to perl for sys admin. And at least a few
chapters in o'reilly books dedicated to using python. I think php
cookbook dedicates a chapter to php-cli, but again, it hardly compares
to all the docs I find on using perl for sys admin.
