My name is Fernando Trias. I am new to this list and to the perl
discussion in general, although I've been using perl for two years. I
am writing this message to explain my intent to work on a perl5
extension for FAME, a time-series database and statistical package
from Fame Information Services which is widely used by researchers in
large banks, investment firms, and government. I would like to know
if there are any people with experience in FAME or other time-series
oriented databases who might be interested in this package, or might
wish to contribute ideas about its development.
While working at the Federal Reserve, I developed a rudimentary
interface for perl4 which uses FAME's C-language interface to import
and export data. I have already ported this interface to perl5.001m.
Using this interface as a base, I plan to create a TIE interface for
quick access to data and an object-oriented interface for more complex
manipulation.
The perl4 interface is in the public domain (under the Freedom of
Information Act). When finished, the perl5 interface may still be
freely available but will be copyrighted by me, and perhaps partially
by my employer (Fidelity Investments).
If anyone is interested in more details, please send me email
<ftrias@helix.fmrco.com>. If there is enough public interest, I will
send a more detailed description to perl5-porters.
