I haven't used the Perl module myself.
The FAM API hasn't changed since it was open sourced in 2000, and I'm
told (see the FAM FAQ http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/faq.html) that
the
last major structural changes occured in 1995.
The only real change in behavior in recent times was made before FAM
was
open sourced. This change was to rewrite user authentication handling
to
make FAM more secure. The old behavior can be had by running FAM with
the
-C option.
The links page (http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/links.html) also has
somebody
using the FAM Perl module in 2001
(http://www.linuxfocus.org/English/March2001/article199.shtml), so it
should
still work fine.
I'd be interested to hear how you go.
