I'm using Ubuntu 6.06 for my web server.  I've written a Perl program to parse my /var/log/messages file and place certain data into a mySQL database.  I use PHP to read that database and create a nice webpage for myself to I can check the log easily.  The question is, where should I place the Perl program?  It should only be run as root and I'd like to create a daily cron job to run it.  Options are (among others):
   
  /bin
  /sbin
  /root
   
  ?
