> Still OT > Chris, what is AoAs ? As Dave Burt noted, AoA is "array of arrays", like
[[A,B,C,],[1,2,3],[X,Y,Z]] for instance. Ruby's array handling is nifty. > At my current site, I use WATiR, but cannot do any DB work in Ruby, > because the DB (DB2 on zOS) doesn't allow ODBC connections. I'm using DB2 on AS/400 (!!!) at the moment. IBM supplies a nice DB2 ODBC interface for Windows through their "iSeries Navigator" suite of tools, and Ruby's ODBC drivers plays very nicely with it.

So, Perl + DBD::DB2. I can't help with your permissions. =) BTW, I guess it's not a big secret, but: I *like* Perl. I'm working in a culture that's excited about Ruby. And right now I have no need for Watir. So I could actually do my current work in either Ruby or Perl, and it's just more funner right now in Ruby. It's also nice to have Plan B: the moment I run into something Ruby can't do, I'll happily switch to Perl. Nice to have alternatives... Look through the archives and you'll see mention of my handling Javascript popups with a Perl Win32::GuiTest layer. I still think that's a valid approach, with all due respect to the Wet and AutoIT fans. -Chris _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
