convenientstore has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi Monks,
I have a question.
I saw some guy writing a software that can interace w/ 3rd party software He wrote a software in something and Launched it from command line(unix) to control some behavoir for software that's running in windows This is way over my head at this moment, but just for curiosity factor, I googled API(I have no idea what it is, I just heard that it stands for application interface).. Is that the right way to approach something like that if one was interested in writing something to interace w/ 3rd party software Is perl right software to do that sort of work? How does one find out what the capability of that 3rd party software and how to interface that?(I am thinking API) Does one need to find out the API specifciation of that 3rd party(possibly from that website?) and write according to it or is this somethings that experinced programmar already know how to do? I guess this is more of computer science questions(?) but since perl is something I am into and know(and no other cs background), thought posted out there here. Any response would be greatly appreciated
