DESCRIPTION
This bundle installs the prerequisites for Interchange 5 as well as some modules that are not strictly necessary.
(Interchange was formerly known as Minivend.)
After installing this bundle, it is recommended that you quit the current session and then run Interchange's makecat program. That will give you the benefit of line completion and history.
The core functions of Interchange will run with a stock Perl, but to use some features of Interchange (like the administrative interface) you will need these modules.
- Digest::MD5
-
This module is used to generate unique cache keys. If you don't have it, then keys will be computed with a checksum that has a very low but not infinitesimal chance of causing a cache conflict.
- Storable
-
If you have this module session save speed increases by anywhere from 25-60%. Highly recommended for busy systems.
- Safe::Hole
-
This helps Interchange deal with the object-creation restrictions of Safe.pm, used to encourage security.
- DBI
-
Most people want to use SQL with Interchange, and this is a requirement. You will also need the appropriate DBD module, i.e. DBD::mysql to support MySQL.
- Term::ReadKey
-
Helps Term::ReadLine::Perl generate completions and editing for makecat and other interactive scripts from command line.
- Term::ReadLine::Perl
-
Gives you filename completion and command history in the makecat program. Not used otherwise.
- MIME::Base64
-
Provides HTTP services for internal HTTP server and basic authentication.
- URI::URL
-
Provides HTTP primitives for internal HTTP server.
- HTML::Tagset
-
Required by Bundle::LWP.
- Bundle::LWP
-
Certain parts of these modules (URI::URL and MIME::Base64) are required for Interchange's internal HTTP server. Also, Business::UPS, for calculating shipping, requires this.
- Business::UPS
-
Enables lookup of shipping costs directly from www.ups.com. Requires Bundle::LWP.
- IO::Scalar
-
Used for Spreadsheet::*Excel.
- Parse::RecDescent
-
Used for Spreadsheet::*Excel.
- OLE::Storage_Lite
-
Used for Spreadsheet::*Excel.
- Image::Size
-
Optional but recommended for [image ...] tag.
- Tie::ShadowHash
-
Needed for pre-fork mode of Interchange, prevents permanent write of configuration.
- Spreadsheet::ParseExcel
-
Allows upload of XLS spreadsheets for database import in the UI.
- Spreadsheet::WriteExcel
-
Allows output of XLS spreadsheets for database export in the UI.
- Archive::Tar
-
Only needed for supplementary UserTag definitions.
- Archive::Zip
-
Only needed for supplementary UserTag definitions.
- Compress::Zlib
-
Only needed for supplementary UserTag definitions.
- Crypt::SSLeay
-
Payment interface links via HTTPS/SSL.
- SOAP::Lite
-
Only needed when employing SOAP.
- Tie::Watch
-
Allows tied configuration values that execute subroutines on access or set.
- Time::HiRes
-
Needed for some Intranet functions.
- Authen::Captcha
-
Needed for captcha generation filter.
- Digest::Bcrypt
-
Used for strong password encryption.
- Crypt::Random
-
Used for strong password encryption.
