StateMachine::Gestinanna is a fairly simple state machine implementation that is driven by the application. It does not actually drive an application but provides hints as to what the application should do next. It is designed to be especially helpful in a Model/View/Controller web-application environment to help the controller decide which view should be used. However, it may also be used in other areas, such as traditional GUIs.
StateMachine::Gestinanna supports inheritance (via @ISA) of state transition definitions and code triggered by those transitions. This allows the development of classes of applications. HAS-A relationships are not yet supported. The distribution is available on CPAN (soon -- has been uploaded) and at http://sourceforge.net/project/gestinanna/ -- James Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, 979-862-3725 Senior Software Applications Developer, Texas A&M CIS Operating Systems Group, Unix
