Big Data Datacenters is impressed with your overall work and wants to start finalizing the strategy for using Perl in its organization. First of all, it is looking for a single, cohesive document that details your work so far. Update the document based on any past instructor feedback, and make improvements as necessary.

A topic that is getting some discussion lately is that of a graphical user interface (GUI) approach versus a scripting approach. Include in your document an analysis on these two approaches with consideration given to the following:

  • Discuss the strengths and weakness of a GUI and a scripting approach.
  • Should a combined approach be considered that uses both GUIs and scripts?
  • Give your recommendations for the following use cases. Which approach would you select and why?
    • Execute a backup job that runs every night at 1 a.m.
    • Create user accounts on a system that is typically performed by a person.
    • Execute a job that runs every 5 minutes and that checks for disk free space and sends an alert if the available disk space is less than 10%.The strategy for using Perl at Big Data Datacenters is almost complete, with the exception of one last-minute requirement. The team has identified a requirement to parse data so that it can be consumed into a centralized relational database management system (RDBMS). Again, they are looking to you for answers, and they would like you to provide sample Perl scripts that show the following:
      • Show how the Split function can be used.
      • Show how the Chomp function can be used.
      • Show how a for loop can be used in Perl.
      • Show 2 additional functions of your choosing that can be used to parse data in Perl.

      For each sample code, provide some brief commentary on how the functions are being used to parse data.

      Because this is your final presentation, take some time to review your final submission. This is a culmination of all of your previous work, including the Perl parsing functions. You are up for a big promotion based your final submission, and you want to make sure that you are submitting your best work.
