We now support HAS-A inheritance as well as ISA (sort of standard
Perl) inheritance (see documentation for details). Now a state
machine can contain other state machines without state namespace
clashes.
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 an 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.
It has been uploaded to CPAN is also available on sourceforge at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gestinanna/
