Fellow Monks,

Have any of my brethren used Perl or the Perl DBI with eDOCS SearchServer (formerly known as both Hummingbird SearchServer and PCDOCS/Fulcrum SearchServer)? If so, can you please share your experience with me?

I know about DBD::SearchServer. It's old and unmaintained. The documentation states it was last tested with SearchServer version 3.5, which is ancient. I'm running SearchServer version 5.3 (which is also old) under Microsoft Windows and can neither find a binary distribution of it nor compile it myself.

I'm able to access SearchServer tables via ODBC using Win32::ODBC, but I would prefer to use the DBI.

I'm really just looking to compare notes with and glean knowledge from anyone who may have used Perl with a modern version of eDOCS SearchServer. Thanks!

Jim

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
