[DRMAA-WG] DRMAA Perl Bindings

[Peter Troeger]

Dear Tim and Javier,

thanks for working on DRMAA implementations, which is always great  
news for us.

I would like to encourage you to transfer your knowledge into an  
official OGF DRMAA Perl language binding document, and base your  
implementation on it. This would allow future adopters - maybe Sun ;-)  
- to build Perl DRMAA implementations by some referable document,  
which at the end ensures Perl application portability.

You might know that the DRMAA group developed a language-neutral IDL  
spec of DRMAA, in order to ease up exactly such an effort. It is  
currently in public comment status:

http://www.ogf.org/Public_Comment_Docs/Documents/2007-12/ggf-drmaa-idl-binding-v1%2000%20RC7.pdf

If you have the time, please read it and try to find mappings between  
the IDL constructs and Perl. I would be glad to help you with this.  
You might end up with a different API than it is in CPAN now, but you  
will get the "OGF-DRMAA-compliant" button on your implementation(s)  
for the future.

Thanks and best regards,
Peter.
