OpenPlugin Description

OpenPlugin is an architecture written in Perl which manages plugins for Web applications. OpenPlugin is a Plugin manager for web applications.There are many web application frameworks out there, and each seems to haveit's own method of handling sessions, user authentication, datasourcemanagement, logging, etc. OpenPlugin's goal is to make one unified system, capable of handling those needs for all web application frameworks. OpenPlugin offers an interface, plugin, and drivers for each plugin -- you get to choose what plugins you want loaded, and the exact driver for how that plugin will function.For example, OpenPlugin provides an API for logging. But OpenPlugin doesn't choose where it logs, thats up to you and your application. You can have it log to a file, STDERR, Syslog, or anything you want. If the driver you want doesn't exist, simply create one!To install OpenPlugin, you have to do the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make installPlease Note: If you receive any errors during the installation of OpenPlugin,please see the "KNOWN INSTALLATION PROBLEMS" section below. OpenPlugin has a number of drivers available for installation. It is often unnecessary or too time consuming to install all of them. For that reason, OpenPlugin allows you to pick and choose which drivers you wish to install dependencies for. When you run the above 'perl Makefile.PL', you will be given a menu to help you install drivers for which you do not already have dependencies installed on your system.At any time, you can go back and run the Makefile.PL to install more drivers.
