“Intes.net, an Internet solutions provider based in Washington,
D.C., has released the foundation of its OpenInteract Portal
environment to the open source community. OpenInteract is an
application framework built to speed and enhance development of
Internet applications and online environments.”
“Developed as a pure-perl application, OpenInteract uses many
modules from CPAN along with Apache and mod_perl to provide better
and more scalable performance. OpenInteract’s data abstraction
layer can store all of your data in one (or more!) of a number of
SQL databases. Generally, if the database is supported by Perl’s
rock-solid database interface (DBI), it will be supported by
OpenInteract. To date it has been tested with Sybase Adaptive
Server Enterprise and MySQL, and adaptations for Sybase Adaptive
Server Anywhere, PostgreSQL, Oracle, DB2, LDAP and XML are on the
way.”
