Here's a little something I've been working on. The interface probably
needs some work but the code appears to work. You can use Data::Dumper
to get a quick feel for what it returns. Grab it from
http://nbpfaus.net/~pfau/perl/vms-logical-0_1.tar-gz.
It looks like someone tried to do this before but from googling it
appears it may not have ever gone anywhere. I can't find it on CPAN.
I'd be agreeable to renaming it VMS::LNM or something if necessary to
avoid a namespace collision.
I was forwarded a VMS::Logical written by Forrest Cahoon,
forrest(at)wiredaemons.company a while back.
It had routines to create logical names, delete logical names. It
claims to have routines to read them, but I could not find them.
I thought I had started modifying it to do some more, but can not find
where I had the changes. Probably they got lost in a power failure.
We do need a logical name module, as part of the VMS PERL distribution
that can do:
1. Create / Delete logical names.
2. Create / Delete logical name tables.
3. Read logical names.
Basically the all the logical name system services.
We would probably want a simple to use API that simply returns a string
from a logical name.
