Hey, did you know you can run PERL on Netware?
Yeah, it's been there since Netware 4, actually, though no one really mentioned it at all until Netware 5. I started paying attention to that fact about two years ago when I started getting into PERL for my websites. But, now, it's a default component in the standard install! So, why don't I hear about anyone leveraging this? Well, I'm not sure about anyone else, but I intend to get some use out of PERL on my Netware servers.
Two weeks ago, I bought PERL for System Administration with the idea that I would use it, and code from the PERL Cookbook, to make my life easier. Why not, I thought, make a set of scripts that I can use or adapt for Linux, Netware and Windows? Sounds like a great idea, right? Well, we'll see. I hope it's a great idea, anyway. At the very least, I should be able learn a bunch more about PERL!
And, while I'm working on it, here's a German site(in English) that has all kinds of scripts for PERL on Netware. Enjoy!
