REBOL & Perl?

 [1/4] from: ammon:rcslv at: 16-Jul-2002 8:37


Hi, I have a Win2K Server running SQL Server. I have a Linux Box as a firewall/webserver. I need to access data from the SQL Server from the Linux box, but I don't administrate the it, and I am not sure that I am going to be able to get the administrator to install REBOL. So, is there a way to have Perl talk to REBOL over the intranet? I would like to do the majority of the scripting REBOL as I have a limited knowledge of Perl. Would Rugby, or an adapted version of Rugby work? Thanks!! Ammon

Hi again, I guess I could always send email with perl, fetch with Rebol. ;-) Any other ideas? Enjoy!! Ammon A short time ago, Ammon Johnson, sent an email stating:

Hi, Ammon, I would have responded this morning, but I assumed someone with more knowledgeable would have answered by now. If the SQL server is set to be accessible over the intranet, this access is most likely occurring through TCP. REBOL can be installed on the Linux box and set to access the server via the network. To my knowledge the only freebie SQL server access software is for MySQL. /Command offers Oracle, etc. I offer 10,000 apologies in advance if I either don't know what I'm talking about or have misunderstood your requirements. --Scott Jones

Hi, I have a command license for both Linux and Windows, so I would prefer just use the ODBC access on my Windoze Server. The question was how to I get Perl and REBOL to communicate inteligently, if in fact I am forced to use Perl on the server. Thanks!! Ammon A short time ago, G. Scott Jones, sent an email stating:
