Load iRule from external file using bigpipe

iControl felt a bit like overkill to me. Also, I don't actually *know* perl, and generally just use it to automate the creation of shell commands. I'm very used to the bigpipe command, so it felt natural to just write a script to automatically generate the bigpipe commands I was already used to using.

 

 

I was also worried that using iControl would require some extra configuration to get running (like authentication stuff, though I could be wrong), and we've had problems in the past with the people doing the deploys not always configuring things properly. That's why I want to have it just be a 2-step process. Upload files to the F5, then run the script.
