Dear Tim and Javier, thanks for working on DRMAA implementations, which is always great news for us. I would like to encourage you to transfer your knowledge into an official OGF DRMAA Perl language binding document, and base your implementation on it. This would allow future adopters - maybe Sun ;-) - to build Perl DRMAA implementations by some referable document, which at the end ensures Perl application portability. You might know that the DRMAA group developed a language-neutral IDL spec of DRMAA, in order to ease up exactly such an effort. It is currently in public comment status: http://www.ogf.org/Public_Comment_Docs/Documents/2007-12/ggf-drmaa-idl-bindi... If you have the time, please read it and try to find mappings between the IDL constructs and Perl. I would be glad to help you with this. You might end up with a different API than it is in CPAN now, but you will get the "OGF-DRMAA-compliant" button on your implementation(s) for the future. Thanks and best regards, Peter.

Javier, Thanks for your notification and for your work porting Schedule::DRMAAc to GridWay, I'm copying the DRMAA working group forum so that they are aware of this added resource. I must confess I've been a long time inactive in the grid community. Are you willing to release your edits back to the community on CPAN?
Thanks, Tim

Hello,
I am Javier Fontan and I'm working for Universidad Complutense de Madrid. More specifically I am working in the group that develops GridWay (http://www.gridway.org). I got your DRMAA module from CPAN and modified it a bit and made a new package that does not require SGE and can be compiled with GridWay DRMAA library. The package will also be licensed as GPL and will maintain your authorship. I can send you the package when it is ready for release so you can check it. Tell me if there is any problem.
