This module implements schema management and class auto-generation for Tangram.
It was also envisioned to be the centre for code refactoring of the Tangram core, providing API compatibility - however this has been dropped as a goal of the module, and it is now focused on the Schema as a data object.
To get started, run the test suite. It will take you through setting up a database to hold your schemas, itself a Tangram store. The test suite will use this database for its initial run.
After that, if you want to re-run the T2 test suite, you should create another database for the tests. The Makefile.PL re-creates database tables when it is run, so only re-run it if you are sure you want to lose the contents of the configured schema database. If you name the database ending in "_t", it is assumed that you are aware of this and happy for Makefile.PL to blaze it.
`perl Makefile.PL' will sometimes cause a segmentation fault. This is due to a bug in Storable. The bug is tracked in the Perl bug tracker:
http://guest:guest@rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=25145
This bug has since been fixed, so if you get it try to upgrade your version of Storable.
SQLite has an outstanding bug in it too, which gives lots of messages like this:
Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/Tangram/Storage.pm line 693.
There is an RT ticket for that too,
