Perl Guru's I greet you.
I am putting together a script which I would be using to update
Windows servers as part of a build process.
I have multiple mirrored shares across my network
My goal is to have this script run and determine the fastest/closest
update share
that it can use to download updates from
Can you think of any modules that can help me with this ?
As of now (design phase)
I was thinking of the pseudocode
1. Launch script
2. query host for its IP
3a use static table to determine which is its best share
(problem with this is I have to compile a list of IP network values and
determine which share best servers which network)
OR
3b. Ping each update server and return the one with the least number of
hops or the one with the fastest response time.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
