First real Perl task at work

cog on 2004-05-28T10:22:42

So, after working here for more than a year, I finally get my chance to use Perl for a real task (I had already use it for lots and lots of small tasks, either for my personal use, for helping others or to impress others :-) ).

This particular task (which I will eventually do sometime today) consists of editing the crontab of a user via web, considering that each line of the crontab corresponds to a different process and should be edited seperately.

It's not a very difficult task (if that's difficult at all), but it's my chance to impress my boss with the power of Perl :-)

Now lets search the CPAN and see what I shall use... there's a Config::Crontab, a Set::Crontab, ...

Oh, and thoughts are welcome :-)


Done

Among with several other things :-)

It was even much easier than I thought :-)

Now I'm gonna have to take care of all the menus and stuff... argh... HTML and Javascript, probably... ;-(

I must stress this part :-) I don't want anyone thinking it took me hours to achieve such a simple task :-)
