These modules provide a set of base classes for Perl modules and applications. It provides configuration file loading Class::Usul::Config, locking to single thread processes IPC::SRLock, logging Class::Usul::Log and localisation Class::Usul::L10N
The class Class::Usul::Programs is a base class for command line interfaces
Interprocess communication is handled by Class::Usul::IPC
Class::Usul::File makes the functionality of File::DataClass available
Defines the following attributes;
config
The config attribute should be a hash reference that may define key / value pairs that provide filesystem paths for the temporary directory etc.
config_class
Defaults to Class::Usul::Config and is of type LoadableClass. An instance of this class is loaded and instantiated using the hash reference in the config attribute. It provides accessor methods with symbol inflation and smart defaults. Add configuration attributes by subclassing this class
LoadableClass
debug
A boolean which defaults to false. Usually an instance of this class is passed into the constructors of other classes which set their own debug state to this value
l10n
A lazily evaluated instance of the l10n_class. This object reference is a Localiser which handles the localize method
l10n_class
localize
A lazy loadable class which defaults to Class::Usul::L10N
lock
A lazily evaluated instance of the lock_class. This object reference is a Locker
lock_class
A lazy loadable class which defaults to IPC::SRLock
log
A lazily evaluated instance of the log_class. This object reference is a Logger
log_class
A lazy loadable class which defaults to Class::Usul::Log
dumper
$self->dumper( $some_var );
Use Data::Printer to dump arguments for development purposes
Setting the debug attribute to true causes messages to be logged at the debug level
