I'd prefer something that wasn't a rehash of the Llama with a different
problem space. Having NT/W2K and Unix in the same book didn't work, since it
did not really cover heterogeneous networks properly.

It's a bit difficult to write on such a wide ranging subject, so I guess
it's hard to give more than a superficial look at a few problems and then
say "use CPAN". However, I felt that Programming Web Graphics gave me much
more inspiration for different approaches that Perl for SA did.

This might just reflect my different skill levels with sysadmin and graphics
stuff though.
