How do you define "sys admin task"? If something can be done in Perl, it
can also be done in PHP. Running a PHP CLI script as root even allows to
crash your system if you're not careful. It's just another language with
another (IMHO much more readable) syntax, but still as powerful as Perl
or Python.
