Re: iSeries, web development and perl

Did you ever try having perl on a linux web server accessing db2 data on

i? Looking for the correct driver and >>connection string right now.

No, linux wasn't really around at the time!

There is nothing wrong with PERL, it executes superfast on most platforms,
on some platforms not quite so fast, and in answer to another post we never
got to discover the bottleneck (when you are on a customer site implementing
your solution and your Toshiba laptop ( circa year 2000 ) outperforms a
model 720 by about a factor of 20 it is time to reconsider your approach and
sod the technical reason for the bottleneck )

PERL is a great language and I still have plans to use it combined with
other languages. ( But not running on an iSeries )

Mike

It might not be such new ground

I did a lot of perl web development on the iseries 8 years ago

Then, performance turned out to be such a bottleneck that we moved the
web apps on to NT servers

Of course power has increased dramatically but you may be better off
pursuing the PHP route ( or something else ) IMHO

Thanks. Found that and have perl install on our i and the run perl
scripts OK. Just don't know the first thing about setting up Apache
to execute a perl script. May be one where we break new ground

Has anyone on this list use perl on an iSeries for web development?
I know perl can run on i, we have a 3rd party app that uses it for
some processes and I know perl can be used for web development on
unix/linux platforms but I can't say I have ever heard of anyone
using perl for web development on i.
