Porting perl script to graphical user interfaces for clearcase

Question

We got quite a number of perl scripts running in our environment. Even creating branch and view for it are done via script. Now we have in the process of porting this perl script to GUI based environment. What language do you prefer for this ? We have some inhouse tools return in C# (developer are not with us). This may also get ported.

ENV -> Windows.

Answer 1

Even for GUI, perl remains the safest road (as you saw in "How can I interact with ClearCase from Perl?")

but it also can depend on your ClearCase version: with 8.X and ClearTeam (new CCRC), the CLI rcleartool (also detailed here) can be wrapped by any language you want (through wrapping system calls).

The other option is the Java API:

• for ClearCase 7.X
• for ClearCase 8.x and CM API
