in reply to CGI and System Administration

I'll answer your meta question with some meta questions.

What system management toolkits have you looked into? Is there something specific you need to do that is not covered by any of cPanel (commercial), Plesk (commercial), Webmin+Usermin+Virtualmin, VishwaKarma, SysCP, WebCP, or others?

If you're not looking for work already done, is there a reason for that?

Perl is great, but many of the available tools to do these things are written in PHP. Some can still have Perl-based extensions and plugins. Would that be alright for your needs?

    See my reply to zentara above.

    A tool that can do what I need, including easily customizable in the ways I need, can be written in COBOL for all I care. If I'm going to be writing code, though, I'd prefer perl. Wouldn't say "no" to others if the framework is really that much better than the perl equivalent.

    Thanks!
