Perl HL7 Toolkit Description

Perl HL7 Toolkit is a Perl module that provides a simple but flexible Perl toolkit for using the HL7 protocol. Perl HL7 Toolkit is a Perl module that provides a simple but flexible Perl toolkit for using the HL7 protocol.HL7 (Health Level 7) is a standard for information exchange between applications in the medical sector. The protocol defines the format and content of messages that can be exchanged. The 7 stands for the 7th OSI layer. Please check the HL7 site for details (although this site isn't too clear).This toolkitThe HL7 toolkit provides a lightweight Perl API for manipulating, sending and receiving HL7 messages, an implementation of a forking HL7 server and an HL7 queue daemon. All packages are used in demanding production environments. However, you need to see for yourself whether this toolkit works for you... The components glued together can provide an HL7 framework for applications that can't do HL7 by themselves. Check the documentation for this so called communicator concept. HL7 APIThe API doesn't provide an exhausting implementation of all HL7 messages and segments, but instead focuses on a flexible means of creating messages that can be sent to any HL7 compliant server, and receiving HL7 messages that can be parsed into segments and processed. Some often used segments and messages however are implemented, like the MSH segment, and ACK for a given HL7 request, including these segments specific peculiarities. hl7dThe HL7 server, a.k.a. hl7d, provides a pluggable framework for HL7 message handling. The server can be configured to dispatch incoming messages to user defined plugins, based on the message type. This way, the hl7d process can, for instance, communicate with databases, files, etc. hl7qdThe HL7 queue daemon, a.k.a. hl7qd, provides a pluggable framework for managing HL7 'queues'. A queue is a process reading data from, say, a database or file, translating into an HL7 message and translating the HL7 result back into some format, again a file or database. This can approximately simulate real time HL7 messaging for applications that can only provide message queue's in the form of a directory or a database.What's New in This Release:· This release adds an important security fix to prevent execution of arbitrary code, a small documentation fix, and a removeSegmentByName method.
