I also haven't got along with the Perl API shipped with slurm. I got it to
work, but there were things missing.
Currently I have some wrapper functions for most of slurm commands, and a
general parsing function to slurm's common outputs (of scontrol, sacctmgr,
etc.).
Not in CPAN, but you can see it under in the cshuji::Slurm module in:
https://github.com/irush-cs/slurm-scripts/
I haven't checked it yet, but now with the slurm rest API, I think getting
the information should be simpler.
HTH,
Yair.
