Jim,
Thank you for your reply.

Legato AAM is Legato Automated Availability Manager. It is a
high-availability clustering package for the heterogeneous application
environment. To perform automated functions, it utilizes its own
built-in Perl 5.6 interpreter (at least in release 5.0 it is this
level of Perl.) The Perl interpreter has some proprietary functions
that are used for product-specific purposes. This is really cool
stuff, and I was hoping somebodys out there who had gotten as excited
about it as I have might know of a repository. A lot of the things
that are done have to do with checking system performance, checking
for the existance of certain processes, etc. So related administrative
scipts might also be useful and adaptable to the environment.

The environment runs on Windows, Solaris, RH Linux, AIX, and HP-UX,
and, like I said, can be heterogeneous. They use their own Perl so
there are not release issues to contend with.

I have checked with engineers at Legato, and been told they have no
"contributed program library". But I've found that there are often
places on the net where people drop stuff that is highly functional,
even if imperfect at times. I was hoping there was such a thing for
Legato-specific things.

Thanks again for the reply. I hope this clarifies things for you.
