Sash version 1.01 ================= Sash is a tool to access common data sources. It was inspired by the many character based database tools so that you could work with the Salesforce.com API in the same manner as say MySQL. It supports a variety of data sources via plugins that are readily available on CPAN. INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make install To some it might seem odd to not have to run make test but there really is nothing to test. Sash by itself only provides a framework for connecting and communicating with various data sources. You need install the appropriate plugin to work with your data source of interest. DEPENDENCIES This module requires these other modules which are also readily available on CPAN: Term::ShellUI 0.85 Data::Table 1.50 Text::ASCIITable 0.18 Term::ReadKey 2.30 Time::HiRes 1.86 DOCUMENTATION Standard perldoc is available after you install sash or on the project website and CPAN. PLUGINS As of this release there are 2 plugins available: Salesforce.com API (http://www.salesforce.com/developer) VerticalResponse.com API (http://www.verticalresponse.com/api) Read the documentation for information on availability and installation. It also has information on how to develop a plugin. WEBSITE The project is hosted by SourceForge so take a look at: http://sash.sourceforge.net COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE Copyright (C) 2007 by Wesley H.
