Yes you can use custom perl modules... http://marcus.nordaaker.com/building-ansible-modules-with-perl-and-mojolicious/
http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/developing_modules.html Naturally if it is to be released (preferable if you are adding new AIX functionality in my opinion) then Python would be a requirement. I assume that the reason you want to use Perl is that it is standard on AIX and that you have more familiarity with it. Otherwise I would think that you could use the copy and rpm modules to install the linux toolbox Python module. The IBM toolbox python should work, but as I said I have not tested it yet. I am currently more interested in standardising (and automating) our server builds so that they are identical across all of our engineers (I am still having issues with the guy who insists he NEEDS a full X install on every server.) The Rhel 6 (I manage 6 and 7) will work. AIX will mostly work, but not all functionality is there. Software installation isn't. User management is. Cron entries work. I don't think I tested starting or stopping services but I doubt that SRC support is there. As for where to get a development AIX box I would love to be able to offer you an LPAR but there is no way I can do that. The cheapest virtual offering I found was $169 a month from lparbox.com, but that seems a bit higher than I personally would want to pay. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
