This is yet another persistent object framework, but designed for the
Gestinanna application framework ( http://sf.net/projects/gestinanna/ )
though it can work outside that framework.
Gestinanna::POF currently supports Alzabo, MLDBM, LDAP (limited
testing), and aggregations of objects. Security is supported on an
attribute basis instead of object basis, providing finer granularity
than most other persistant object frameworks. A rudimentary,
abstract locking protocol is supported. Transaction support is still
in development.
Gestinanna::POF tries to stress security over performance, so it may
not perform as well as other frameworks. If you do not need
attribute-level security, you will probably want to look at one of
the other more mature frameworks also available on CPAN.
Gestinanna::POF::Alzabo is the basis for the forthcoming
Gestinanna::POF::Repository which manages revision controlled object
collections in an RDBMS (waiting on a few more tests).
