We also use Embedded Perl for some of the +in-house utilities for our customer service department and are in the +process of rewriting our entire site using Embedded Perl for the front end. + +<P> +We are using Embedded Perl in combination with DBI/DBD accessing an Oracle +database on the backend. Our production environment is multiple load +balanced Compaq Alpha servers running Tru64 and Apache 1.3.x as the web +server. Our development environment is x86 Linux based. Compared to our +older software which is C/C++ CGI based, Embedded Perl has proven to give +us excellent performance a lot better productivity due to decreased +development and maintenance time. + +<P> +Dice.com is the largest IT specific job board in the US and Canada with +over 150000 jobs online on any given day from over 8500 employers or +recruiting companies and over 300000 job seeker members. + +<P> +Our main page is <A HREF="http://www.dice.com">http://www.dice.com</A> + +<P> +The specific pages which currently use Embedded Perl can be found at: + +<P> +<A +HREF="http://jobtools.dice.com/jobtools/announce.html">http://jobtools.dice.com/jobtools/announce.html</A> + + +<P> +<HR> +<H2><img src="sq.gif" width="16" height="16" alt="-"> <A NAME="Intranet_Site_at_FedEx_Express_F">Intranet Site at FedEx Express Flight Training - Sheffield Worboys [[EMAIL PROTECTED]]</A></H2> +<P> +Problem: Build an intranet-based training system to satisfy flightcrew +recurrent-training requirements. The existing system is computer-based, but +only available on a LAN, requiring that the crewmember travel to a company +facility to access the system. Also, the courseware-development software is +10+ years old and making changes to existing material takes far too much +time and requires specially trained personnel. + +<P> +Solution: Build a new, intranet-based system which can be used by any +crewmember with access to the Internet (requires user id/password to gain +access through a security firewall). + +<P> +We originally planned to use Dreamweaver to generate the course content, +and Pathware to implement the administrative details; however, we found +Pathware's Java-based interface to be slow and buggy. The fix was to use +Embperl instead of the Pathware interface to provide administrative +functions such as linking the html course content with Pathware's Oracle +database tables (using the Perl DBI), enrolling students, tracking student +progress, scoring quizzes, creating and editing curriculums, generating +reports, etc. Management wants a browser-based interface to the data, for +convenience and portability. We are using an Apache web server with +mod_perl and an Oracle database that is resident on a separate machine. +Response speeds are very good. + +<P> +We're also using EmbperlObject instead of shtml to link our Flight Training +site into the Air Operations Division's website, so that we can incorporate +their headers and navmenu format to give a consistent ``look'' across the +entire site. Empberl is used to dynamically generate navmenus so that +additional links are displayed for certain employees, such as +administrators, instructors, and developers. <P> <HR>
