A goal here is to eventually have a single Internet Bulletin Board program that will: --- Accept and process data submitted to it through Web page input screens. --- Accept and process data submitted to it via E-mail letters. As you said, a mail handler is involved. --- Accept and process data submitted to it by other programs running at my domain Web site that will run one or more times a day and collect scientific data from other Web sites. The effort to get such a bulletin board running at my domain Web site is gradually moving along a step at a time.

This is a fairly complex project involving a number of people. And Perl is being used exclusively for everything possible. Other types of applications are being developed and used when necessary. But if possible, and as soon as possible, they are converted to Perl language code. The computer programs being developed need to be able to run on both a Windows PC and a Web server.

Standard feature. How else would you submit contributions? >EDG> --- Accept and process data submitted to it via E-mail letters. As >EDG> you said, a mail handler is involved. Why email? While certainly possible and easy enough to do, post and put have been invented already for a reason.. >EDG> --- Accept and process data submitted to it by other programs running >EDG> at my domain Web site that will run one or more times a day and >EDG> collect scientific data from other Web sites. There are many tools readily available for this purpose. jue

NNTP is a protocol and can be implemented in Perl. Is it insufficient for your needs? How do you plan to deal with disconnected servers coming back, offline access, universal article storage and access formats, indexing, etc.?

OK, but the statement above (you realize a Windows PC can be a web server, right?) and the requirements you posted are not encouraging. Ted |
