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;
The config attribute should be a hash reference that may define key / value pairs that provide filesystem paths for the temporary directory etc.
config
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
Defaults to false
Decode input and encode output. Defaults to $self->config->encoding which defaults to to UTF-8
$self->config->encoding
UTF-8
An instance of Class::Usul::L10N
An instance of IPC::SRLock
An instance of Class::Usul::Log
$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
