Re: ETL in Perl

Dane Horne (one of our local Perl Mongers) did a talk the other month about an Open Source ETL package he's developing called ETLp. Like ~~metaperl~~Corion, Dan had found that the visual ETL tools really did not scale and became very frustating for non-trivial problems. Anyway, check out his project.

Actually Corion found they did not scale well... I loved Ab Initio and it seemed to scale well for me... after all it evolved from the parallel computer company Thinking Machines. but thanks for the link.. checking it now The mantra of every experienced web application developer is the same: thou shalt separate business logic from display. Ironically, almost all template engines allow violation of this separation principle, which is the very impetus for HTML template engine development. -- Terence Parr, "Enforcing Strict Model View Separation in Template Engines"	[reply]
