First of all, who said you can't do sysadmin work without Perl? For somebody only knowning enough Perl to read other scripts, you're pretty arrogant about how much better TCL is than Perl. As the other reply demonstrated, you are comapring apples to oranges and I can tell you from experience, TCL and Perl and CF, and C, and... are all pretty nice languages. I've written some very useful tools in all of them.
And by that, TCL is in no way going to create a comparable script at 20%-50 smaller code size. I can tell you this, you are not a sysadmin if you stick to a single language to solve all of your day to day problems. Two things I love about Perl, DB access and RegEx.
Go do your homework before coming to a Perl article and pissing all over it.
