DB::Appgen - Copyright (c) 2000 XAO, Inc., Andrew Maltsev ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **** 1/14/2005 - I don't use APPGEN any more and don't have any **** access to it either. The module is provided as is, if you want **** to take over its maintaining/development please let me know. ********************************************************************* This is DB::Appgen - low-level functions for APPGEN database manipulations (you probably already know what appgen is if you loaded this module, but if you don't please visit http://appgen.com/ - in short it is the sytem behind these green salesman terminals you see in various ikeas, sears and so on). All this was made in about four hours including reading perlxstut manpage, so do not expect something pretty. Although it appears to be working OK in my tests. I'll be doing some bigger data manipulations using this extension in the next couple of days and I will probably build some kind of higher level interface. If you don't see it on CPAN yet feel free to ask me about it. INSTALLATION ~~~~~~~~~~~~ I failed to find a simple way in MakeMaker to give exact paths to libraries, so you need to create directory somewhere and put (or better symlink) the following files from your APPGEN developer kit into it under the following names: libappgen_appl.a -> APPL.a libappgen_strings.a -> strings.a libappgen.a -> appgen.a Then you need to edit Makefile.PM and point $appgenlibdir variable to your directory. Alternatively, just name (or sym-link) your directory 'appgen-libs' in the top distribution directory -- that's the default name. Yours, Andrew
