interacted with various banks …essential requirement being integration of
electronic Scroll from banks …in to the Office Automation suite of Sales Tax
Department.
OCT 2004 – OCT 2007 freelancer
wrote independent specifications to various potential projects
Example specification (a) : Automated redirection to language specific url
Got a solution to automated redirection to language specific content or url for a web
domain or website for a specific geographic domain with a unique language
encoding as can be set in the web browser
Should there be a client web browser {view->encoding} as query able, javascript
viz. document. window or other manner …or the client web-browser agent …can
query the setting on the client browser configuration using low level http
communications transmit the configured value of encoding on the client web browser
to a HTTP server …based on the value transmitted the HTTPserver can automatedly
…make a choice…transfer the url for the current session(client user) to content of
choice i.e native content to setting on web browser setting on the client side …all
this without user intervention on the client-side …this may probably tried with
customization of code and custom compilation of web browsers available in open
source.
Illustration of the above for understanding: Browse to http://www.gotevot.edu.sa
by default your taken to a url serving content in Arabic …but based on the above
logic using the encoding setting in client browse can redirect to appropriate url
of encoding as transmitted by a user-agent (a component of web browser) or
based on the client-side java-scripting document onload() method …can redirect
the browser appropriate url as supported for the encoding setting in the client
browser …in this instance say the other supported language being English
Example specification (b) : A SQL Query interface to System or OS logs.
Most operating systems provide a logging mechanism to errors generated by
a service or daemon or application …most of them are logged chronologically
in the order or the time at which the instance happens.
Providing a SQL interface to LOG files to the OS run time error log's(free text search
query using like operator would be particularly useful) and installation, patch logs
would a good idea, ideally integrating SQL engine to the kernel as an add on
component would be nice to have, MySQL kind of database engine would ideal as
it is light weight and efficient enough for the above requirement
Note: This not to replace the plain old text files based logs , but is to provide a
emulator on these logs that much works over the SQL query , to reduce the
complexity of using the tools like SED, AWK.
Eg: The windows based servers come equipped with index server as a built in add-on
optional component ....the logs can be exported to text files and indexed under a
catalogue.
This will be highly valuable for security auditing ....as also ....looking for a specific
/ particular event for the expert system admin in case of a system crash rather
than looking sequentially through the maize of logs.
Since most or all logged entries are associated with the following attributes a unique
Number to denote application or service or daemon, a error level to usually indicate
the warning level or incident level …and a error number …hence a free text based
query or logs imported into a database and queried using SQL interface provides a
much more flexible interface to the administrator.

Under took a systems study for www.kse.com.kw (Kuwait Stock Exchange on line
trading System) and fine tuned existing Software which were hosted on four Sun
ultra sparcs running solaris 2.6, with hardware in a load balanced environment ,
and total System was developed in PERL (right from stock feed parsing using PERL
regex ).
Publish the feed from stock exchange on to the web, by parsing the feed using PERL
regular expressions and storing the data into MySQL backend database and on to
the web using PHP and PERL CGI.
Developed Portfolio Management system to track stocks of individual choice it is
been developed
Lots of PHP and asp scripting to generate Dynamic content for the following sites

(suitable for web purposes as data pertaining is mostly in multiple‟s of paragraphs)
(can be extended to arabic /urdu/ mandrian/ european fonts) in the SQLServer server
database ...on the client side when the language encoding is correctly set...the
internet explorer automatically displays the fonts in its language correctly, this is
applicable to all wide char-set and works even on 3 tier applications with components
that support wide char set (also called language encoding),in VB /Delphi /Magic
Software browser component, also this RAD tools provide support for creating
dynamic control that can be suited for the purpose.
Above product also contains, Dynamic unlimited Page Generator with predefined page
layouts from selectable predefined set of templates.
Ideally speaking each language(encoding) and its individual font is mapped to a
Unicode, these fonts usually stored in a embedded database in the OS based on
language...so by properly using encoding, downloading of fonts can be avoided.
was able to store Arabic data viz. wide-char-set in sqlserver 7.0.
The Page generator logic breaks basic principles of Normalization.. i.e. of
atomicity(its based on a self referential key for the primary key/identity key to
represent a navigation system(one to many relation from a Page to child pages with
a template id attached to each of the pages, how it works since all data is drawn from
database a fixed max limit number of fields (data to be reflected in the web page )
are created in the table of database…with a additional field-Id flag to reflect to check
if the field has acquired a display tag or not based on the template/page layout
selected for the page….also links to any images to be embedded in these data fields
can either be translated into files stored i.e. paths on the file system or a image field
in database)
Wrote project specs for Bid proposal to integration of www.kuwaitairways.com with

Online Movie Ticket Booking
Online Movie Ticket Booking : This application enables ticket booking for a theater
enlisted with www.hyderabadtheatres.com. It is implemented using PERL and Flat
files.
Note: Faced a specific problem … with the hosting-servers located in different
geographic domain viz. USA ….the server side scripting solution
viz. PHP 1.x /PHP 2.0 was as hindrance to be used to time and date
generation at client side, with date and time being generated being on
the server side a day‟s older and not in sync with local date time…..proposed
…a solution viz. client-side JavaScript / vbscript, based date time generation
...which stored into a field in client side FORM …can be used for server side
processing ….this should be applicable to all single domain…or website‟s that
cater to multiple geographic domains (And confirmation of all transactions or
approval over email …that calculates and map‟s the time-zone ( calculate-able
based ISP/router header parsing…much like the way IP-address of a client is
accessible currently over server side or a accessible NTP server in the vicinity
of geographic domain), the transaction‟s of this nature can be approved in a
automated format or by a operator.
Net-Pals : A simple BBS for pen pal friendship. This is implemented using PERL
and a Flat File.
Both Net-Pals and Online Movie Ticket Booking are a first time ever in
market in a automated format.
Classifields / Yellow Pages: A first innovation/concept brought into the market.
A Web based classifieds posting and retrieval on the lines of yellow pages using PHP
and MYSQL Database.

Optimized PERL Code for Parsing incoming data to a Web-Server.
CGI script
-----------
{
If( $ENV{„REQUEST_METHOD‟} eq „POST‟ ){
read(STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{„CONTENT_LENGTH‟});
}
If( $ENV{„REQUEST_METHOD‟} eq „GET‟ ){
$buffer=$ENV{„CONTENT_LENGTH‟});
}
@pairs=split(/&/,$buffer);
foreach $pair(@pairs){
($nam, $value)=split(/=/,$pair); #extracting variable‟s defined in
forms
$value=~tr/+//; #suppressing junk characters that form part of
the
#data set that form part of the incoming http
stream.
$value=~s/%( [ a-fa-F0-9 ][a-fA-F0-9] / pack(“c”,hex($1)/ cg;
$contents{$name}=$value;
}
}
Site Search Utility/Option : A first innovation/concept brought into the market.
This feature /option lets searching of the site by keywords, it picks the words typed in
the search box and search‟s for these words in all the files present on the site, if any
file contains a matching pattern then the URL of these files are displayed in response
to the Query.
This is based on script/binary utility that does the above job, contrary to the search
option that is based on the meta tags.
PERL based outline of Source Code for above:
____________________________________
Obtain the Search arguments from the HTTP stream viz. a HTML form submission
Using GET/POST.
Presuming that „search‟ is the HTML variable that contains the input arguments
for a search.
#presuming using cgi or for a RAW extract from HTTP source refer above
$search=param(„search‟);
#performing the search on the server side ….viz. list of files in a directory
/directories.
#code for searching from a single directory on the Web-Server.
#obtain the type of operating system from PERL environment variable
#$os=^OS;
#$command being defined based on the operating platform/ OS on which
#the search utility is hosted on ….
if ($os eq “DOS”){ $command=‟dir/b|‟; } #the recursive list of files from all the
directories
if ($os eq “UNIX”){ $command= „ ls|‟; } #or with a list of directories in which to be
#search from an array can be define and optimized
#list of directories that are defined in the configuration
#file of a web-server …that can be loaded into a
#variable viz. a array by parsing the configuration file
#the above can again be integrated based upon the OS
#code ought to be optimized
foreach $dir (@dirs){
opendir(dirhandle ,$dir) || die “ error opening the $dir: $!” ;
@searchlist=grep{/\.c$/} readdir(dirhandle); #unix context retrieve list of files
foreach $searchfile (@searchlist){
Open(FILE, $searchfile) || die “ can‟t open the file :$!” ;
$data=””;
while($data . = <FILE>); #capture the content of the file to be searched
chop($data); # get rid of EOF character.
#$search being the variable containing the text to be searched.
If( $data=~/$search/im){ #capture the matching set of lines in perl
Print “$searchfile”.”\n”.”$&” ; #can be optimized
}
