i offered the advice to hire someone who knows how to do this. asking
for which perl modules support an enterprise management system is
clueless. you would need maybe 50 different modules and tons of glue
code to create such a beast and some serious perl skills (and multiple
hackers as well). so yes, i was presumptious but i bet fairly accurate
as well. notice how no one else even answered as there is no proper
answer to the exact question. moronzilla won't even jump in here but it
never uses cpan and knows nothing about IPC and large systems (hell, it
knows nothing about perl).

i would have offered my services to the OP but i am too busy and i doubt
someone so clueless would actually grasp that i would be of great value
to them for this even as an outside consultant/architect. they could
always read my signature and contact me. will i see a reply or even a
followup here? i wouldn't bet on it. but i am always open to new
projects and i do have the skills they need.
