name: Dave Plonka email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] homepage: http://net.doit.wisc.edu/~plonka/ preferred user-ID: PLONKA a description of what I'm planning to contribute: Name DSLI Description Info ------------- ---- -------------------------------------------- ----- Spectrum:: ::CLI RdpO perl API for Spectrum Enterprise Mgr. CLI PLONKA This module is probably most properly considered a "Database Interface". Currently the module is available at: http://net.doit.wisc.edu/~plonka/Spectrum-CLI/ I plan to subsequently submit other primarily network-management related perl modules such as those linked from "http://net.doit.wisc.edu/~plonka/packages.html". My current priority, though, is to get the aforementioned "Spectrum::CLI" module on CPAN to ease installation for users of the high-end Network Management system Aprisma's (formerly part of Cabletron) Spectrum Enterprise Manager. As for the namespace, "Spectrum" would be ideal as that is the name of the requisite commercial application. "Spectrum" is a registered trademark of Cabletron, and the full software product name is "Spectrum Enterprise Manager". If this name is somehow problematic, I would consider using "Spectro" (which is a commonly used prefix for components of that product.) Cabletron has another network management software product called "Spectrum Element Manager" or "SPEL", for which my module is not compatible, AFAIK. This module is discussed in the Spectrum User's and Spectrum Modeling majordomo mailing lists: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", respectively. The lists currently have about 1300 Spectrum users/subscribers. I am active in these lists, I am the SpectroFAQ maintainer, and run a web site for Spectrum User's: "http://SpectroSITE.doit.wisc.edu".
