[PCB_FORUM] Re: ICU2004: SKILL SIG, OpenSKILL Initiative

Try #2

 Perl and extracta work great outside of allegro

 Is there a way to have Perl talk to the allegro
 database directly?

 If so can it be done from "outside" allegro
 or only inside?

That's true Carl. But, get a programmer that know Perl and Tcl/TK and they
do wonderful things with Allegro. I've seen it at a few companies. Trick
is to have that type of access to a programmer. I haven't boned-up on Perl
or SKILL yet, but I can find many more 'programmers' than SKILL developers
in companies, so I'd more prefer to learn Perl. That's only MY opinion.

Now, if you'd only put a few more comment lines in your Perl code, I
wouldn't have to ask you what it does, or worse yet... guess.  :)

(I've still got a whole purse full of Perl and Tcl/TK scripts from a past
company, but I haven't linked them back to workability yet.)

Good day.
