Tickets server

A sample implementation hacked together in a couple of hours in Perl + MySQL of the Flickr tickets server, as explained in this blog post.

Assumptions

• MySQL 5.1+ is installed locally, listening on localhost:3306
• Perl 5.8+ is installed, along with DBI (apt-get install libdbi-perl)

How to use this

• Basic sql schema is found in sql/tickets.sql
• To test basic sanity, after setting up the db, run: prove -Ilib -v
• To stress test the tickets db, run: perl bin/stress.pl
