Project type |
| Description |
| What we use it for |
|
| Publish WWW |
Perl/UNIX |
There are three aspects to this project:- Environment - consists of a prescribed directory structure
- Configuration - makes use of UNIX scripting and makefiles
- Engine - a publication engine written in perl.
The engine is written in Perl since it is the most appropriate technology for this type of application. In brief the project precribes a development environment and publication technology for use on the web. A fully modular, templated system is used to efficiently publish all web content. Content may be static, dynamic, data or objects. |
We use it extensively for the following:- packaging web sites so that they can be extracted and deployed seamlessly on UNIX servers.
- in conjunction with content management systems to deploy content dynamically and safely
- in conjunction with automated content generation scripts to publish timely content

| WOT::Pds |
Perl package |
|
This package contains a number of methods used to manipulate Perl complex data structures (objects). It also has allows objects to be persisted to disk.
|
|
This package is the core in our web based content management systems.
|
| WOT::Core::DataProcessing |
Perl package |
|
This package is part of our core software since it provides utility methods which are used by other core packages. The methods run diagnostics on data.
|
|
We use this for sanity testing of data and files. It is crucially used to ensure proper error handling and graceful degrading of our higher level software.
|
| WOT::Core::Fs |
Perl package |
|
Fs stands for file systems and the methods which are made available with this package are concerned with just that. It makes dealing with the file system accountable.
|
|
We use this where ever interaction with the file system is required.
|
| WOT::Core::Strings |
Perl package |
|
Our Strings package contains utility methods which are applicable to stings.
|
|
This is often used when interfacing with older systems and when dealing with data containing unusual characters. In particular we use it for generating spec compilant URL's.
|
| WOT::Core::Errors |
Perl package |
|
A collection of methods used for handeling errors. The use of a resource bundle for messages means that this is package can be language specific.
|
|
This packages is used throughout to ensure graceful error handling which is mandated in our best practice documentation.
|
| Recursive grep |
Perl |
|
This is an extension of the increadibly useful UNIX grep line command specific for file grep'ing. It adds a considerable amount of functionality making file grep'ing even more powerful. In particular it includes a recursive switch.
|
|
We use this primarily as a development utility, however it has also been included as a plugin for applications.
