Scripting with Perl

A topic that is getting some discussion lately is that of a graphical user interface (GUI) approach versus a scripting approach. Include in your document an analysis on these two approaches with consideration given to the following:

Discuss the strengths and weakness of a GUI and a scripting approach.

Should a combined approach be considered that uses both GUIs and scripts?

Give your recommendations for the following use cases. Which approach would you select and why?

Execute a backup job that runs every night at 1 a.m.

Create user accounts on a system that is typically performed by a person.

Execute a job that runs every 5 minutes and that checks for disk free space and sends an alert if the available disk space is less than 10%.
