The Perl interface allows you to create Perl scripts that can read the accounting files produced by the exacct framework. You can also create Perl scripts that write exacct files.
The interface is functionally equivalent to the underlying C API. When possible, the data obtained from the underlying C API is presented as Perl data types. This feature makes accessing the data easier and it removes the need for buffer pack and unpack operations. Moreover, all memory management is performed by the Perl library.
The various project, task, and exacct-related functions are separated into groups. Each group of functions is located in a separate Perl module. Each module begins with the Sun standard Sun::Solaris:: Perl package prefix. All of the classes provided by the Perl exacct library are found under the Sun::Solaris::Exacct module.
The underlying libexacct(3LIB) library provides operations on exacct format files, catalog tags, and exacct objects. exacct objects are subdivided into two types:
Items, which are single-data values (scalars)
Groups, which are lists of Items
The following table summarizes each of the modules.

For examples that show how to use the modules described in the previous table, see Using the Perl Interface to libexacct.
