XML::Generator::PerlData provides a simple way to generate SAX2 events from nested Perl data structures, while providing finer-grained control over the resulting document streams.

Processing comes in two flavors: Simple Style and Stream Style:

In a nutshell, 'simple style' is best used for those cases where you have a a single Perl data structure that you want to convert to XML as quickly and painlessly as possible. 'Stream style' is more useful for cases where you are receiving chunks of data (like from a DBI handle) and you want to process those chunks as they appear. See PROCESSING METHODS for more info about how each style works.

Interesting program for doing powerpoint like presentation of slides...very cool.  Perl based and I think xsl based.

Our System is unique as you can specify when rooms are free to be booked - as if there is a permanent booking. This is especially useful in a school where a room is used for a class at a certian time of the day but you wish to be able to book the room at other times when the room is available. If you wish the room to be available at all times, simply dont specify when the room is used.

KinoSearch is a loose port of the Java search engine library Apache Lucene, written in Perl and C. The archetypal application is website search, but it can be put to many different uses.

Features

• Extremely fast and scalable - can handle millions of documents
• Incremental indexing (addition/deletion of documents to/from an existing index).
• Full support for 12 Indo-European languages.
• Support for boolean operators AND, OR, and AND NOT; parenthetical groupings, and prepended +plus and -minus
• Algorithmic selection of relevant excerpts and highlighting of search terms within excerpts
• Highly customizable query and indexing APIs
• Phrase matching
• Stemming
• Stoplists

Catalyst is an elegant web application framework, extremely flexible yet extremely simple. It's similar to Ruby on Rails, Spring (Java), and Maypole, upon which it was originally based.

MVC

Catalyst follows the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern, allowing you to easily separate concerns, like content, presentation, and flow control, into separate modules. This separation allows you to modify code that handles one concern without affecting code that handles the others. Catalyst promotes the re-use of existing Perl modules that already handle common web application concerns well.

Here's how the M, V, and C map to those concerns, with examples of well-known Perl modules you may want to use for each.

• Model

  Access and modify content (data). DBIx::Class, Class::DBI, Plucene, Net::LDAP...

• View

  Present content to the user. Template Toolkit, Mason, HTML::Template...

• Controller

  Control the whole request phase, check parameters, dispatch actions, flow control. Catalyst itself!

If you're unfamiliar with MVC and design patterns, you may want to check out the original book on the subject, Design Patterns, by Gamma, Helm, Johnson, and Vlissides, also known as the Gang of Four (GoF). Many, many web application frameworks are based on MVC, including all those listed above.

XML::Generator::DBI is the replacement for DBIx::XML_RDB, which allowed you to convert a database query into 'on the fly' XML. XML::Generator::DBI does a lot more than just that, it generates SAX events and relies upon a SAX handler to handle them in some manner. This adds more complexity to the process, but it also adds more flexibility, allowing you to do more than simply create a string or XML file. This tutorial aims to showcase the features of XML::Generator::DBI while providing concrete examples of sample usage.

This module generates SAX events from SQL queries against a DBI connection.

The use utf8 pragma tells the Perl parser to allow UTF-8 in the program text in the current lexical scope (allow UTF-EBCDIC on EBCDIC based platforms). The no utf8 pragma tells Perl to switch back to treating the source text as literal bytes in the current lexical scope.
