Hi Samy (et al),
I am big net management specialist mostly advertising me-self as a perl
engineer. The art of management is really achieving the balance of gut
reaction with careful statistical analysis. To achieve this I created a
perl OO dataserver which really holds complex structures of chunks of
data, performace data goes in daily chuncks, configuration data is
divided into boxes, devices, or if convienent, whole domains.
I works suprisingly well since a single ineffiecent call is more
efficient that a vast number single value calls; an OO db will use one,
two, maybe a dozen calls. I scaled it to use performance data, fine
tuned so many hugely expensive machines that it wrecked so many egos
that I felt almost guilty, (not really :)
Honestly, perl seems to have reached a point of diminishing returns. I
am going to put finishing touches on my server, implement it in a
production environment and then...
Switch over to a product called Jasmine. Owned by Computer Associates,
it will probably never be ported to Linux. But none-the-less, I am
certain it was once its own startup, and their technology can very
easily be replicated as that is the major strength of Java.
Anyway, since you mentioned being beg-intermed in db's and interested in
Java, I thought I would mention this to you.
Also I an working on a startup business to create that elusive $200
thinclient, progress has been slow lately mostly because of perl
problems and the flu.
