Muldis::D --------------------------------------------------------------------------- by Darren Duncan PREFACE This distribution features the pure documentation file named Muldis::D (Formal spec of Muldis D relational DBMS lang) and its support structure. Read below for how to get support or keep up to date. DOCUMENTATION READING ORDER If you want to read all the Muldis D documentation that exists now in this distribution, I recommend doing so in this order: 1. README 2. (opt) Changes 3. lib/Muldis/D.pm 4. lib/Muldis/D/Basics.pod 5. lib/Muldis/D/Core.pod a. lib/Muldis/D/Core/Types.pod b. lib/Muldis/D/Core/Types_Catalog.pod c. lib/Muldis/D/Core/Routines.pod d. lib/Muldis/D/Core/Routines_Catalog.pod 6. lib/Muldis/D/Dialect/PTMD_Tiny.pod 7. lib/Muldis/D/Dialect/HDMD_Perl6_Tiny.pod 8. lib/Muldis/D/Dialect/HDMD_Perl5_Tiny.pod 9. (opt) lib/Muldis/D/Conventions.pod 10. lib/Muldis/D/Ext/Ordered.pod 11. lib/Muldis/D/Ext/Integer.pod 12. (opt) lib/Muldis/D/Ext/Blob.pod 13. lib/Muldis/D/Ext/Text.pod 14. lib/Muldis/D/Ext/Rational.pod 15. (opt) lib/Muldis/D/Ext/QTuple.pod 16. lib/Muldis/D/Ext/QRelation.pod 17. lib/Muldis/D/Ext/QSet.pod 18. lib/Muldis/D/Ext/QArray.pod 19. (opt) lib/Muldis/D/Ext/QBag.pod 20. (opt) lib/Muldis/D/Ext/Counted.pod 21. (opt) lib/Muldis/D/Ext/Temporal.pod 22. (opt) lib/Muldis/D/Ext/Spatial.pod 23. lib/Muldis/D/SeeAlso.pod 24. (opt) TODO Then you can carry on with anything else. You may prefer the nicely HTML-formatted versions of the above, which are available at "http://search.cpan.org/dist/Muldis-D/". See also these directories in this distribution: 1. archives/ 2. util/ Each of those directories has its own README file explaining their contents, which includes things like presentation slides and language modules for text editors. KEEPING UP TO DATE My module set is constantly under development. The canonical copies are all linked to through my personal website, "http://www.DarrenDuncan.net/", on the page called "Perl Libraries I Made" (name subject to change). Some of these modules are also linked to through my business website, "http://www.muldis.com/", on its front page. For those of you that are interested in the bleeding edge of development, I have all parts of the Muldis D project in one or more public repositories. The Muldis D project is in a Git repository whose Git read-access url is "git://utsl.gen.nz/Muldis-D" and whose Gitweb information url is at "http://utsl.gen.nz/gitweb/?p=Muldis-D". In the near future I will also be using a GitHub public repository, under "http://github.com/muldis/", to host this project. You can download slightly older versions of all of my modules from the public CPAN archives at "http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/D/DU/DUNCAND/", or on my own web server at "http://www.DarrenDuncan.net/d/perl/". CPAN also extracts the POD from modules and maintains that documentation in an organized and searchable fashion. Their main search site is at "http://search.cpan.org", and my own DUNCAND author page is at "http://search.cpan.org/search?author=DUNCAND". The main CPAN search site url for Muldis D is "http://search.cpan.org/dist/Muldis-D/"; that is the url you should link to presently if you want something to consider the "home page" of Muldis D; it is best to refer people there by default. You can download my oldest tarred and gzipped distributions from BACKPAN, at "http://history.perl.org/backpan/authors/id/D/DU/DUNCAND/", or from my web server, at "http://www.DarrenDuncan.net/d/perl/archives/", right back to the libdwg 1.0, first released on 2000 July 23. SUPPORT Several public email-based forums exist whose main topic is all implementations of the Muldis D language, especially the Muldis Rosetta reference implementation, but also the Set::Relation module. They exist so that Muldis D / Muldis Rosetta users can help each other, or that help coming from Muldis D / Muldis Rosetta developers can be said once to many people, rather than to each individually. All of these you can reach via "http://mm.DarrenDuncan.net/mailman/listinfo". Alternately, you can purchase more advanced commercial support for various Muldis D implementations, particularly Muldis Rosetta, from its author by way of Muldis Data Systems; see "http://www.muldis.com/" for details. FIN Share and Enjoy!
