LSF::Base - Access Platform Computing's LSF (Load Sharing Facility) Base API from Perl ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright (c) 1999 Paul Franceus. All rights reserved. This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Most of the functions in the API have been implemented and tested, but the formal test.pl is still rather skimpy, as you can see from the test.pl. The Testlist file shows which calls have been tested as of today. If you are interested in contributing at this point, you can: 1: Write some more tests so I can get this whole thing tested. 2: Flesh out the interfaces to a few calls that I haven't implemented yet, ls_loadinfo() being the most notable. 3: If you have ideas for improving the "perlishness" of the interface chime right in. Notes: This has now been tested on both AIX and Solaris. It is currently in production use at my site, without too many problems, so far. Thanks to Jim Meyer of Platform Computing for his Makefile.PL. History: Version 0.01 12/21/1999: First public release. Some functions not totally debugged and not completely tested. Version 0.03 6/01/2000 Synced version with LSF::Batch. Added new Makefile.PL. Fixed a bug or two.
