now for the long shot

emcb has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,

I have just started a new job where they want me to re-develop their entire system. This will involve creating a new perl-shell (bash-like), a file-system-viewer (read,print,save-to,upload,download) and a server to manage the whole thing.

I have decided to use unix/perl with both an internet and unix sockets for the server to communicate with the utilities (above) but i dont want to take a lot of time re-inventing a module(s) that may already exist and fot the requirement. Heres a summary of what the server will do:

  • check unix perms
  • unix authentication
  • chroot'ing for the fs-viewer
  • print to the printer
  • send data via kermit (Serial-Console)

    If any one has attempted this kind of thing or know of good reliable mods to use please let me know.

    Thanks in advance,

    Elfyn

      Although most of what you are seeking is in the core Perl, you can also search CPAN.
