Hello! I am trying to study perl since no one from our company knows this technology and we have a solution that has been working for more than 5 years that uses perl. it is a fairly stable solution and we have only encountered an issue with it recently when the company migrated documents to sharepoint online 2010. Basically we have an application that runs on linux and uses perl to access websites to get documents. However, our current perl script seems to be incompatible with linking to sharepoint. For one, the sharepoint uses two factor authentication upon login via pingid. is there a way to use perl to override this? or how could this be handled at the backend? Sharepoint owners have told us to use the available REST APIs. But, we are not sure how to integrate this with perl and linux. I've tried reading some references and most of the codes uses NTLM. Our script uses Mechanize. Which of the two would be more efficient to use with sharepoint that has a two factor authentication? Would greatly appreciate your help. Thanks!
