Hi Ted,

A slightly unsatisfactory follow up note from me I'm afraid. It seems that over here the experience of using Perl with HTC is largely limited to people batching unitised Perl scripts.

By that I mean people re-writing code to perform operations on a single problem and then feeding large numbers of those onto the nodes through UNIX batch scripts.

In some ways I guess this is kind of obvious because it means little re-coding is required as opposed to re-writing a Perl script in a parallelised way. I have to ashamedly confess that I am going to do the former also for that reason. I would like to exploit OpenMPI in the future and will seek to do things that way from scratch when I next need to do something intensive on a HPC system.

Sorry that's not of more help.

Ian.
