Apache::Voodoo ============== Apache Voodoo, or just Voodoo for short is a web based application framework for Apache 1.3 and mod_perl. It's goal is to handle all the repetitious and sometimes tricky/difficult mod_perl stuff for you. By nature, it enforces a clean division of presentation (HTML), logic (your Perl code), and Apache/mod_perl. Some features include: * Abstraction of mod_perl and apache interaction away from the user's code * Separation of presentation and logic via HTML::Template * Dynamic reloading of modules upon change (bypass-able for production sites) * Automatic session management * Automatic database connection and persistence * Powerful database abstraction system via Apache::Voodoo::Table * Simple enough API that the learning curve is pretty shallow * Integrated debugging tools * Automated installation / upgrade of sites developed with Voodoo INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DEPENDENCIES Apache::DBI Apache::Request Apache::Session Config::General Email::Valid File::Pid HTML::Template IPC::Shareable IPC::SharedCache Time::HiRes XML::Checker::Parser AUTHOR Maverick, /\/\averick@smurfbaneDOTorg COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 2005 Steven Edwards.
