Linux.com: Planning on Ecommerce? Try MiniVend On For Size

[ Thanks to Jeff Alami

“During the past two months I have been gathering information
for future articles on Ecommerce. One of the products in that
research is a Perl-based application called MiniVend. The provider
of MiniVend touts it as being a full-featured Ecommerce
solution which piqued my curiousity, so I decided to speak
with the product’s main proponent, Mr. Mike Heins. I was shocked to
learn that Mike lived in the very town I lived in, and so without
too much effort I soon found myself chatting face-to-face with Mike
at his home here in Oxford, OH. Besides being a lucky coincidence,
I was also able to gain a valuable perspective of the product that
I would not have gotten had I spoke only by phone or some other
method.”

“The current and available version which you can download from
ftp.minivend.com is version 3.14. Version 3.15 is due to be out
soon and release 4.0 will be out after the start of the new year.
Version 4.0, besides including ASP syntax support, will also strip
out much of the past version compatibility components which will
result in a more compact and sleek system.”
