Coded In Open Source PERL

JHZ-CS Solutions are sourced in PERL (Practical Extraction and Reporting Language) providing an assortment of benefits of being open-source and platform independent.

Why PERL?

There are many computer platforms in popular use today. There will be even more in use tomorrow. These platforms are comprised of a multitude of components and sub-components each with their own specific requirements and dependencies. JHZ-CS customers have their own specific requirements. The platform they operate on today may not be the same they will be operating on next month or next year. As a result, they need a solution that is flexibility and adaptable.

JHZ-CS's decision to source its solutions in PERL was the logical choice. PERL is available on most all major platform in use today.

Database Supportive

PERL supports a comprehensive database interface (DBI) supporting most all popular database management systems in use today.

Rapid Deployment

Code is interactively compiled at run-time. This means modifications, enhancements and updates can be applied rapidly without having to compile, assemble or performing links and makes. Code modifications are easily performed using standard text editors rapidly with minimal effort and resources.

An hour saved in maintenance can provide a year's worth of processing time!

It's important. When it come to resource management it's important to look at the big picture.

Inexperienced programmers sometimes object to interactive compile at runtime platforms such as PERL. One specific complaint is execution performance; however, this is typically caused by poor coding techniques where resources are misused and/or mismanaged. Solid coding techniques overcome most all performance issues keeping memory usage and I/O to an absolute minimum.
