+1 for Perl. It IS portable as far as no cirtical system access is
required. This perfectly fit our needs for Torque. Pattern is far easy
using perl.
Drawback: installing Perl. (at least for Windows and Mac users)
-1 for shells, since shell scripts cannot do anything but calling
applications. And usually those applications are not portable. (or you
have to install them)
Example: removing a file:
shell on unix: rm filename
shell on windows: del filename
Perl (anywhere): unlink filename;
BTW: .bat files are not portable.
Other Solution:
Using Java and Ant. But I do not know Ant enough to know if it could fit
our needs.
