Hello
Puppet::Body is a utility class that is used (and not inherited like
the deprecated Puppet::Any) to manage dynamic has-a relations between
objects.
This class results from the split of the deprecated Puppet::Any.
It provides the following features :
- An event log display so derived object may log their activity
- A Debug log display so derived object may log their "accidental"
activities
- A set of functions to managed "has-a" relationship between Puppet objects.
- A facility to store data on a database file tied to a hash.
Suggested DSLI entry in the Perl Module list:
Puppet::Body adpO Handles permanent data, has-a relations and logs DDUMONT
About Puppet body classes
Puppet classes are a set of utility classes which can be used by any
object. If you use directly the Puppet::Body class, you get the plain
functionnality. And if you use the Puppet::Show class, you can get
the same functionnality and a Tk Gui to manage it.
I'd like people who use this module for their application to drop me a
short note about what they're using this module for.
Cheers
