how to manage phpBB, windows 2003 server and FreeBSD user accounts simultaneously.

[jiing]

I want to write a program which can manage phpBB, windows 2003 server
and FreeBSD user accounts simultaneously.
Where can I find related information? Could you show me the
direction?
any related CPAN modules
thanks in advance.

I may be wrong, but are you sure phpBB has anything to do with CPAN,
let alone Perl?!?

Thanks Michele, it's good to get your response.
Let me restate my question again.
I want to manage the accounts of phpBB (someone said it just need to
modify the database of phpBB, I am not quite sure), accounts of
Windows 2003 server, and accounts of FreeBSD.
I have tried to find out some CPAN modules that may be useful:
Win32:Admin authorava Roth
Win32::AdminMisc
Win32::NetAdmin
Win32::Lanman author:Jens Helberg
HTTPD::UserAdmin
Net::LDAP
But I am just a newbie of Perl, and not very sure what I should do,
what information I should find.
in fact, I do not know the account management at all, either in
FreeBSD or in Windows 2003 server.

Can anyone give me some suggestion?
thanks a lot.

I recommend looking at LDAP (lightweight directory access protocol)

Well, phpBB is a CMS written in php. So a priori it is doubtful that
"native support" for Perl is provided. I don't even know if it is
possible, but it may be that someone has written a Perl module to do
what you want anyway. In that case search CPAN. Did you find anything?

In that case, OK: there are probably modules to do what you want.

But I am just a newbie of Perl, and not very sure what I should do,
what information I should find.

If you are willing to listen to my humble opinion, then you should
first become familiar at least with the very basics of Perl. Then and
only then you can even *begin* to think of using whatever module to
manage complex tasks, let alone potentially risky ones like those
you're dealing with.

in fact, I do not know the account management at all, either in
FreeBSD or in Windows 2003 server.

Ditto as above.

Please note that dealing with such delicate areas is a kind of
activity that even many Perl (or other languages FWIW) experts will
handle with MUCH, MUCH care. So... be careful. And patient!

Can anyone give me some suggestion?
thanks a lot.

I'm afraid I can't give you any beyond what I wrote above. Sorry!

Michele, thanks for your sincere option.
My boss told me phpBB part can be solved by directly access the mySQL database.

My boss told me phpBB part can be solved by directly access the mySQL database.

Then perl offers excellent support for this kind of things. Please
check

perldoc -q SQL


HTH,
