Actually, I think somebody hit the nail on the head and I missed something when I was thinking. Use some perl ODBC library to read and write to AS/400 files directly.
IBM doesn't create ODBC drivers fro FreeBSD. You could use JDBC (Java's version of ODBC) but then you'd need some way for the Perl program to talk to the Java program, which brings us right back to sockets.
mostly solved and doesn't involve writing some custom server, no matter how much one might like to (Hi Scott, I liked your tutorial)
You don't necessarily need to write a new server. You could use the iSeries Web server or you could use inetd, etc. A dedicated server would be the most efficient way, but it really depends on the requirements of the project. Hopefully we'll learn more about them soon.
Glad you liked the tutorial.
