(i need perl in scripting to help me to write scripts to administarte linux ,, and to working with itis configuration files

What exactly are you trying to do now?

There are good references all over the net, e.g.:

* Automating UNIX system administration with Perl
* Linux System Administration and Configuration

and books:

* Automating UNIX and Linux Administration (not only w/Perl)

But there are zillions more. How about to formulate *one* *small* problem first, which we may try to solve together?

i had some problems and i posted all of it here like how to comment line in named.conf file and i felt my self dummy :S
cuz of my frequently asked questions in the same thread
but what i want to do is to managing linux and servers by perl like editing in itis configuration file
like adding a domain in the named file and create the zone file in /var/named
adding virual host to apache httpd.conf file
and various type of linux administration


thanks for your great support

adding a domain in the named file and create the zone file in /var/named

I'm not sure how sophisticated you are in
administrating this stuff *at all* (without Perl).
There is something out there that describes
how to handle complicated things in the zone files,
eg. Format of DNS files.

Adding or modifying something depends IMHO entirely
on the conventions already used on your server (what only you may know).


adding virtual host to apache httpd.conf file

This is the same like above. Normally, you won't "add"
anything to "httpd.conf", but rather let include "httpd.conf"
subdirectories containing configuration files, like this
[httpd.conf] example piece:

...
Include /etc/apache2/vhosts-batch-01/*.conf
Include /etc/apache2/vhosts-batch-02/*.conf
...

In these directories, you may provide specialized
configuration files (xyz123.conf) for any http service you provide.
In each directory you may have some "common.inc" file
which gets included by each .conf in the respective directory

But that's the Black Art of Apache Configuration and
this hasn't very much to do with Perl in the first place.
Once you are able to create a consistent multihost
configuration at all, there should be no problem to
write some Perl-Scripts that may manage them
