XML::Comma is Free Software released under the GNU General Public License.
The latest distribution is XML-Comma-1.994. XML Comma 1.994 is a "beta" release of the long awaited comma-DEVEL branch, aka comma 2. More information is available on comma 2 and why it's worth upgrading from comma 1.x.
A complete Comma install requires Perl 5.6 or greater and installation of several CPAN modules:
- Class::ClassDecorator
- Compress:Zlib
- Crypt::Blowfish
- Crypt::CBC
- DBI
- DBD::mysql or DBD::Pg
- Digest::HMAC_MD5
- Inline
- Lingua::Stem
- Math::BaseCalc
- PAR
- Storable (included in core perl as of perl 5.8)
- String::CRC
- Test::More
XML::Comma development is managed using subversion, a source code version control system. The repository is available here:
https://chronicle.allafrica.com:8080/repository/
From a web browser that URI will let you poke around the tree (although a nicer interface is available via viewvc). From the command line, an `svn co` in front of that URI will get you the entire repository tree. XML-Comma and a number of optional CommaX modules are under the trunk/ directory. The deprecated comma 1.x branch is located at branches/branches/XML-Comma-1.x.
If you want to skip the development branch, `svn co https://chronicle.allafrica.com:8080/repository/trunk` is the command for you. If you just want the XML-Comma module, `svn co https://chronicle.allafrica.com:8080/repository/trunk/XML-Comma` is the command for you.
