Pogo - Perl GOODS interface
(C)1999-2004 Sey Nakajima <nakajima@netstock.co.jp>

This is a Perl inteface module for GOODS (Generic Object Oriented Database System). GOODS is written by Konstantin Knizhnik <knizhnik@altavista.net>.

This is a free software.

This module is in 'alpha' phase. All features may be changed. Please send me your bug reports or suggestions.

I have developped and tested this on FreeBSD4.7 and FreeBSD4.9. Please test in another OS and send me your porting informations.

get goods-x.xx.tar.gz from any one of follows (x.xx is a revision number) http://www.garret.ru/~knizhnik/goods.html http://hp1.jonex.ne.jp/~nakajima.yasushi/

NOTE: goods-2.74.tar.gz and goods-2.75.tar.gz has a bug. Please use 2.76 or later.

tar zxvf goods-x.xx.tar.gz
cd goods
./config
make
su
make install

NOTE: GOODS has some makefiles corresponding to some OS's. Please do './config -h'.

tar zxvf Pogo-x.xx.tar.gz (x.xx is a revision number) cd Pogo-x.xx
perl Makefile.PL
make
./startgoodsrv test &
make test
./cmdgoodsrv test exit
su
make install

NOTE: You must use the Makefile.PL* corresponding to the GOODS makefile you used. Sorry, I do not offer all corresponding Makefile.PL to the GOODS makefiles for now. If you met some errors, please edit Makefile.PL manually considering to the GOODS makefile you used.

A GOODS application needs running a server process 'goodsrv' with the corresponding configuration file. Before executing test script, you must run goodsrv with test.cfg. The command line './startgoodsrv test &' does this as background process and './cmdgoodsrv test exit' terminates the goodsrv.

NOTE: If 'make test' fails with segmentation fault, try 'perl Makefile.PL -DGLOBALDB'.

To browse the database of 'test.cfg', type as follows. See 'perldoc Pogo' for detail.

./startgoodsrv test &
./browse test
./cmdgoodsrv test exit

There are some sample scripts in the sample directory. These scripts all use 'sample.cfg'. So do 'startgoodsrv sample &' before executing sample scripts.
