Introduction
XAO Suite is a set of perl modules
created primarily for building dynamic, database driven web sites. It
includes object oriented database layer that completely hides SQL yet is
still efficient enough; web templating language strongly separating code
and templates; indexing software for quick full-text searches; etc
-- see specific modules descriptions for
details.
XAO Suite has been in active development since 2000 (and is
actually based partially on even earlier code, as detailed on the credits page. Practically right from the
beginning the suite was not only developed, but actually used to deploy
web sites -- that means that the code is sufficiently stable.
Requirements
- Perl language
- A database; the primary distribution you can
get here includes drivers for MySQL
(both native and DBI/DBD based).
- Most probably a web server is also required; we do all our
development and testing using Apache
web server
- For high performance the use of
mod_perl
is highely recommended (altough not required in development -- the same
exact code can work with and without mod_perl).
- Some standard perl packages available from CPAN (listed during
installation), such as CGI, Error, Test::Unit, MIME::Lite, Digest::MD5,
etc.
- The XAO Suite has only been tested on
Linux (with some limited testing
on AIX and FreeBSD). It may or may
not work on other systems -- please let us know if you are using XAO on
other platforms.
