Re: [cgiapp] RFC - C::A::Plugin - abstract base class for plugins

[William McKee <suppressed>]

Hi Cees,

Thanks for starting up the discussion again. I'm glad to see that you
had the time to implement this idea. I had noticed that thread on the
CDBI list as well and thought it may be useful for CGI::App.

Unfortunately, I don't understand the magic behind the Plugin code so I
went to check out how you implemented it in your Session and TT modules.
However, I am receiving errors when trying to untar these files:

  tar: Read 6264 bytes from CGI-Application-TT-0.02.tar.gz
  tar: This does not look like a tar archive

Are you able to untar them? If so, can you send me the plaintext via
email?

On a similar note, it seems that we should also be looking up the ladder
towards frameworks. In light of Bill Catlan's recent post regarding the
DMart framework for CGI::App and previous discussions about the
potential C::A book that would include a common set of modules with
alternatives, it seems that a hierarchy for posting useful frameworks
for C::A and Bundles for installing the helper modules that the
framework uses would be useful.

This area would provide a way for the community to document
well-conceived web application platforms that use C::A which could
benefit newcomers (find a pre-built, tested framework that allows for
lots of flexibility) as well as old-hands who would like to pitch in to
build a better framework rather than maintain their own custom-rolled
solutions.

I'm thinking along the lines of C::A::Framework or C::A::Platform.
Thoughts?



William
