Is your RFID aware client a Perl program? I'm mainly just curious. As someone just pointed out you could install DBD::Oracle, find out what tables you need to interact with, and away you go...but bypassing whatever APIs Aleph uses for its circuluation system may be the direction of madness and frustration, unless you understand exactly how it is implemented. > I know that one possibility is to interface to Aleph SIP2 server extension > (used also from 3M RFID systems to notify circulations), but I'd prefer to > use a real and open standard, such as NCIP protocol (if possible, is it?). Does Aleph support NCIP? I just googled a bit and it appears that there are hints that it does. CPAN needs a NCIP Perl module. CPAN needs a NCIP Perl module. CPAN needs a NCIP Perl module. Did I mention CPAN needs a NCIP Perl module? :) //Ed
