Good stuff, I just wish I had more time to work with DTS right now. Too much stuff clamoring for my attention.

Anyway, wanted to mention Linchi Shea's book on SQL 2000 administration with Perl. Available used from Amazon for $3.

Myself, I've done two things to help my admin chores with Perl. The first was to reformat script files into a format that's better for me, the second is a scheduled job that runs at midnight and grabs my SQL Server logs for the previous 24 hours excluding successful logins, so I have a single place to review everything.
