is really great. My hat is off to you Ted! :-)

Subject: [HP3000-L] MPE::IMAGE early beta
Well it's been a long time coming and it's not complete yet, but as there
may
be some value to it, I'm making MPE::IMAGE available to the folks it's most
likely to benefit.
As it currently stands, MPE::IMAGE is a read-only module -- I haven't
written
the code to call DbControl, DbDelete, DbLock, DbPut, DbUnlock, or DbUpdate.
DbBegin, DbEnd, DbMemo, and the DbX family are in but untested and
undocumented. Pretty much everything else is, I believe, in and has basic
documentation. So, if what you've been wanting a Perl/IMAGE module for is
reporting--this should server your purposes.
Please send me feedback (preferably with patches ;-), but understand that
the
reason I've not got the other stuff done is that "real work" keeps me pretty
busy.
I'm not yet ready to submit it to CPAN, so you'll have to do download and
install by hand. The traditional
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
should suffice. Note that for the testing portion you'll have to have a
database and its password handy as I can't very well include one in the
distribution.
Anywho, enough of that. Without further ado, the URL is:
ftp://ftp.southern.edu/pub/HP3000/MPE-IMAGE-0.02.tar.gz
All the usual disclaimers apply.
