Class::AutoDB *** ALPHA SOFTWARE *** These classes are still in their alpha state. Use is encouraged, and bug reporting is strongly encouraged :) Although there are a hefty amount of unit and integration tests that stand behind these classes, there use in real-world scenarios has been limited, so don't do anything all mission-critical-like. DESCRIPTION Class::AutoDB => creates registries in the database (currently, only mysql is supported) and transparently stores and updates collections in those registries. INSTALLATION IMPORTANT: mysql must be installed and configured before Class::AutoDB is installed. Most of the tests will skip unless you have default write access to the database (mysql -u root), or unless you alter the connection parameters in t/DBConnector.pm. Also, Class::AutoClass needs to be installed first (tests are depending on it, don't let them down!) perl Makefile.PL make make test make install AUTHORS ngoodman@systemsbiology.org ccavnor@systemsbiology.org (contact) CAVEOTS TODO - free form SQL queries are not yet supported
