But it indicates that it's not as popular, and there as not as many
pre-writen scripts. Another indication is the job boards, employers
want admins who know perl, or python (usually perl).

And please understand, I am not asserting that admin tasks can not be
done just as easily with php as perl. I am simply recognizing that
perl is much more popular for sys admin, and I'm asking if php could
do the same sorts of things.
