Software Design (v2.0 only)

Legend and notes:

• about the text case:
  • Perl main (.pl): lower case, "-"
  • Perl module (.pm): upper-case XB_, mixed-case, "_"
• about the lines:
  • thick, dark red dashed line = message-based activation
    • web server activating the OM,
    • OM activateing the RD
  • all other lines = procedure calls
    • black lines are inter-group
    • colored lines are within a group
• about the colored blocks:
  • OM is blue
  • RD is green
  • web server is grey (as invoked by the user's web client)
  • other modules are shared libraries
    • yellow for the API parser and handling routines
    • red for shared libraries
• some info:
  • XB_API it generates XB_API_parser when processed
  • XB_Defs and XB_Logs used globally (or should be ;-)
  • Both red and yellow are in ~/lib/
  • RD is in ~/rd/
  • OM is in ~/om/
  • the web CGI is installed in a directory of the web server
  • XB_Common should be local to the CGI,
    • it is accessed by all CGI scripts
    • but it is located where the API code is (thus it's yellow)
  • FINALLY - this wasn't an exercise in software engineering ;-)
