In fact, we ARE using the perl API, but there are some flaws.
E.g. the array_task_str of the jobinfo structure. Slurm abbreviates long
list of array indices, like scontrol does:
e.g.
1-3,5-8,45-...
yes, you can really find there three dots. In my opinion, this is ok for
a general tool like scontrol to abbreviate the output, but it does not
make any sense within a API.
Does anyone know, if the C-API also abbreviates things like that?

I have some questions about the Slurm Perl API
- Is it still actively supported? I see it's still in the source in Git.
- Does anyone use it? If so, do you have a pointer to some example code?
My immediate question is, for methods that take a data structure as an input
argument, how does one define that data structure? In Perl, it's just a hash,
am I supposed to populate the keys of the hash by reading the matching C
structure in slurm.h? Or do I only need to populate the keys that I care to
provide a value for, and Slurm assigns defaults to the other keys/fields?
Thanks,
