Puppet::Any Description

Puppet::Any provides a common base class for lab development tools. Puppet::Any provides a common base class for lab development tools.Puppet::* classes are designed to provide an access to the "puppeted" object using a GUI based on Tk.The basic idea is when you construct a Puppet::* object, you have all the functionnality of the object without the GUI. Then, when the need arises, you may (or the class may decide to) open the GUI of the object and then the user may perform any interactive he wishes.On the other hand, if the need does not arise, you may instanciate a lot of objects without cluttering your display.For instance, if you have an object (say a ProcessGroup) controlling a set of processes (Process objects). The user may start the ProcessGroup through its GUI. Then all processes are run. If one of them fails, it will raise its own GUI to display the cause of the problem and let the user decide what to do.This class named Puppet::Any is the base class inherited by all other Puppet classes. In this example, Process and Process group both will inherit Puppet::Any.The base class features : - A Tk::Multi::Manager to show or hide the different display of the base class (or of the derived class) - A menu bar - An event log display so derived object may log their activity - A Debug log display so derived object may log their "accidental" activities - An Object Scanner to display the attribute of the derived object - A set of functions to managed "has-a" relationship between Puppet objects. The menu bar feature a "content" bar which enabled the user to open the display of all "contained" objects. - a facility to store data on a database file tied to a hash.The class is designed to store its data in a SINGLE entry of the database file. (For this you should use MLDBM if you want to store more than a scalar in the database). The key for this entry is "$keyRoot;$name". keyRoot and name being passed to the constructor of the object. Needless to say, it's a bad idea to create two instances of Puppet::WithDb with the same keyRoot and name. Requirements: · Perl
