Clear Guidance Consulting

_{(a wholly-owned subsidiary of David Boyce)}

This isn't a polished site, just a bunch of pointers to my Perl and/or ClearCase contributions. Many of the same files can also be found directly at my ftp site ftp://ftp.cleartool.com/pub/.

My latest project is called ClearCase for Dummies or CCFD, a UNIX ClearCase shell currently available for Solaris and Linux.

Here are the slides of the Samba/ClearCase presentation given by David Darby and me at RUC 2001 in Denver. Unfortunately, since this was converted from PowerPoint it's MS-centric and only looks good with Internet Explorer. The original Powerpoint version is available via FTP. The reason I provide the HTML version is so people can view it without fear of macro viruses.

I also have a program to test various Samba/ClearCase file limits here. Instructions are in the source code.

An unfinished talk on the use of ClearCase::CtCmd is available now. The finished version will be given at RUC in August 2002 and will be available on the Rational website thereafter.

The slides of my September 2001 BMRCCUG (Boston Metro Rational ClearCase User Group) talk on Perl Programming for ClearCase are here as well. Again, IE is required for this to format right but the original PowerPoint version is available via FTP. During that talk I mentioned detailed instructions for setting up a Win32 Perl that's tuned for UNIX/Windows interop.

All my freeware Perl modules can be found in my CPAN directory. Please make sure you take the latest versions.

I'm publishing a few of my ClearCase-related scripts in an unsupported fashion. Most have worked in a few different environments so should be fairly portable.

I also have a few ClearCase trigger scripts that I'm making freely available. These are not on CPAN.

Here are my detailed instructions for setting up a Win32 Perl that's tuned for UNIX/Windows interop.
