Faxing from PERL againby aseidas (Beadle) |

aseidas has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I have posted in the past about faxing from PERL, at the time I was looking for a piece to a puzzle,the puzzle being a document output management system I am working on. I wanted the whole system to be pure PERL but unfortunately, I could find no module or function that would suit my faxing needs quickly. To fax from the system now I am just calling efax or optio faxfx (yuck) from the program. Now that I have the fax function working (by calling external programs) I am toying with the idea of writing a faxing module. I would probably try to make it more as a front end for efax. My questions are:
1. Is this a waste of time? 2. What would be the benefits to writing a module as a front end to a c program, would there be any? 3. Is there a module already available capable of faxing that I somehow missed in my travels? Any input appreciated as always -Aseidas
