Myself being a Linux/windows sys admin for 9 years, I have never come across a use case which I could not do with Perl. As far as sysadmin stuff is concerned, I don't really see a point learning c/c++. I have been doing perl automation for quite long and still explore new features of perl every now and then. On windows, I have used VB/batch/powershell and was able to automate the things. There were however few instances where I had to use python (I am a python noob). Definitely there is no need to work on c/c++ for **sys admin stuff**.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
