    The System Administration Mailing List, Vol 1, issue 6 (Mar. 12, 1990)
    had a collection of perl scripts submitted by Tom Christiansen
    <uunet!convex!tchrist>.

    Send submissions to: sysadm-list@sysadmin.com

    Send requests to: sysadm-list-request@sysadmin.com

    Back-issues of the mailing list is available for anonymous ftp from
    the Systems Administration archives at terminator.cc.umich.edu. Look
    in the directory ~ftp/unix/sysadmin.

    I'm not aware of one just for administrators, but are you aware of
    the perl archive on tut.cis.ohio-state.edu? Also, there is a
    Usenet news group comp.lang.perl (the source of most of these
    perlscripts) which is useful sometimes.

    I'm a new convert to perl. I've written a perl version of
    quot (because we only have quot on our suns) and a script to
    find all symbolic links on a directory. Now I'm doing a big
    job, rewriting the accounts software in perl with screens and
    everything. There is a package called "shellforms" which lets
    you create screens for sh/csh/ksh/perl scripts. It is available
    for anonymous ftp on uunet. If you use it with perl, you'll
    need a patch and example that I got from the author. I will
    volunteer to send a copy of my correspondence with the author
    (containing the patch & example) to anyone who requests it.

    I think there is a collection of perl scripts on tut.cis.ohio-state.edu.

From: David Fetrow <fetrow@orac.biostat.washington.edu>
    I don't know about that but there is a good way to search for this kind
    of thing if you are on the internet. You should get acquainted with
    "archie", the anonymous-FTP archive server. It's hopelessly overloaded
    but very helpful.

    rsh quiche.cs.mcgill.ca -l archie

    will access the original...satellite servers are being installed.

From: "Randal L. Schwartz" <merlyn@iWarp.intel.com>
    ftp.cis.ohio-state.edu:pub/perl is the more-or-less official
    repository of useful Perl scripts, although a targeted audience of
    "system administrators" is not highlighted. New scripts are accepted
    in "incoming" under that directory.

    comp.lang.perl is the Usenet newsgroup to watch. If you don't read
    Usenet, the newsgroup is also two-way gatewayed to
    perl-users@virginia.edu (with the standard
    perl-user-request@virginia.edu for meta-conversations). If you have a
    sysadm need, *someone* in the 35,000 subscribers has probably already
    tackled it in Perl, so that's a good place to ask.

From: execu!sequoia.execu.com!unisql!alfred@cs.utexas.edu (Alfred Correira)
    How about the perl book?
