Greetings all,

I've been using OpenMPI and C for a little while now, but really would like to be using Perl with it instead. By way of background, MPI allows you to run on a cluster of computers and send work to multiple processors, which for big Perl jobs could be quite nice - MPI is a standard and has been implemented by various places, OpenMPI is the open source version of it.

There are two Perl modules in CPAN that seem like they want to support MPI, but they don't seem to work (both haven't been updated in years and may be abandoned..)

Parallel-MPI

Parallel-MPI-Simple

Anyone have any success in using OpenMPI and Perl using other modules or your own code? Any tips, thoughts and/or advice?

Cordially, Ted
