ClearPress-99 Posted by rmp at 22:10 3rd Mar 2008 Last week saw the latest release of ClearPress, http://search.cpan.org/~rpettett/ClearPress/ . ClearPress is a basic, RESTful, MVC Perl application framework I've developed in tandem with my work at the Sanger Institute http://www.sanger.ac.uk/ .

The original aim of ClearPress was to provide a RESTful MVC framework which integrated with the Sanger's website single sign on. Having proved its usefulness with the first release of the tracking system I developed, ClearPress was spun off into a project of its own together with dependencies abstracted out of the Sanger-specific environment.

ClearPress sports a MySQL-backed ORM, automatic, extensible content-negotiation and easily-templated HTML, XML, Atom, RSS, JSON, iCal, YAML, PNG and other format views. It can run standalone, as CGI or under ModPerl::Registry.

I'm using ClearPress in most of my projects these days, both work and non-work. Blogs, document management, laboratory tracking and various other standalone apps. Hopefully soon there'll even be a dedicated site together with examples. For now you can check out the application-builder and example distributed with the package.

ClearPress-146 Posted by rmp at 23:15 29th Apr 2008 Latest release of ClearPress (v146) out to the CPAN yesterday. The ClearPress data model now implements belongs_to_through, belongs_to, has_many and has_many_through entity relationships for all you ActiveRecord lovers.

Two ClearPress-derived projects are using a half-decent test fixture system. It's really making a big difference to the development of both DECIPHER and NPG so I'm planning to bundle what can be bundled with an upcoming release.
