( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I'm writing a set of modules that will function as sort of a data access API (mostly reading/writing data in an sql database) that will be used by other (yet-to-be-written) modules that will be developed to add capability to a web application that runs under mod_perl.

As a separate point I generally find it far more effective to develop an API after the modules that need it rather than before. Instead of an educated guess about how it should behave you get concrete examples.

Have you considered starting with developing the modules and then factoring out the data layer API once you see the duplication that necessitates it?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
