in reply to Project management via Perl?

Greetings Anonymous Monk,

While I really hope you find success in your mission to increase the Perl use at your company, I have to (unfortunately) admit that in my experience, the best Project Management package out there right now (with a reasonable price tag) is Microsoft's Project 2000. With the addition of "Project Central," Microsoft finally got it right as far as global management and task automation and tracking. It's an extremely powerful package that will essentially do everytyhing you want including full company task tracking and reporting over an intranet.

What you might be able to get away with is writing some Perl stuff to increase the power of Project Central. Some of the displays are rather canned; you could use Perl to customize and make dynamic more of the reports. If you go this path, you'll have to run Perl on Win32 since Project Central will only run on NT/2K with IIS. :( But this shouldn't be a problem.

Personally, I really hope there is a package out there that's going to top MS Project. If you find one, please let us/me know; I'll use it at my office if the price is right.

-Gryphon.
