My name is Elliott Davis and I am relatively new to this list. I am interested in writing a driver for Blueprints. I imagine this working similar to the ODBC or the JDBC driver for DBI currently. I have read the DBI::DBD documentation (only once, not twice as instructed) and have found it very verbose. It seems that writing a C driver will be the optimal solution for speed but a pure perl driver will make the module more maintainable. If I were to work on the driver I think my goal would be a pure perl driver. The DBI::DBD documentation suggest an initial email to the dev list before pursuing code on any driver, so here I am. If anyone is currently working on this or is interested in working on this could you please let me know.
Does there already exist a C client library for Blueprints, especially one made by the same people as the Blueprints server? If so, then probably use that and then made the DBD driver a C one that just interfaces to it. If there isn't a C client library and you're just writing to a network protocol, then write yours in Perl since that would be the easiest to do, and give you're doing all the client work yourself anyway. -- Darren Duncan
