Re: querying cdb using perl ?

Hi,

I'm Perl-ish myself and I was looking for the same thing couple of
years back when I wanted to translate some data between the Cadence
DFII and the mentor Graphics Framework (). I didn't manage to find
anything at this time, I gave it up at the end. you can give it a try
on the CPAN but I agree with Andrew on this, I'm a bit pessimistic as
well ...

I know however that things have been built for OA but rather in Python
(I don't know any in perl so far).
You can find:

1. The LSI Python for OpenAccess: Python4oa
http://www.si2.org/openeda.si2.org/projects/python4oa/

2. The Ciranova Python API
www.ciranova.com/do***ents/process_****table_pycells.pdf

3... maybe others,

The main reason Python is suitable for OpenAccess is because it is
native Object Oriented and has good interface with C and C++ cl*****.
Well Perl has got Objects as well but it is not the core of the
language but just an extension. I don't want to argue on this because
I love Perl, It makes my daily life easy and it's good enough for my
work. I stick on it just now ...

I would be very happy seeing you coming with a Perl API in the
future ;-) Please remember me, I'm always interested ;-)
Riad.
