Perl was (and still) is used for system administration to this day. If you have professional system administration experience what have you seen Perl used for in sysadmin practices the most?

When would you recommend it? When would you not recommend it and what would be the alternativein which case?

Do you still see coworkers and yourself using Perl for such tasks. I ask because I'm confused as to how Perl stands up as a system admin tool compared to other options in modern times.
