How do you know if perl,python interpreters are there by default in the target system..in most gnu/linux system you can be sure of a bash or a borne shell at the least. Why the hell would u or I write small day to day scripts in python when bash could easily accomplish that in couple of lines. I eagerly read a book called "Python for Unix and Linux System Administration"..and I saw nothing compelling to do things differently. I totally agree that there is a case for python in production environment to keep things clean but perl is a no go..as far as readability is concerned.
