REFERENCE SQL ROUTINE SQL:2003 STRING BUILDER IMPLEMENTATION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- by Darren Duncan CONTENTS * Preface * Keeping Up To Date * Dependencies * Support * Credits * Copyright And License PREFACE This distribution features the Perl 5 module named "SQL::Routine::SQLBuilder"; see the file lib/SQL/Routine/SQLBuilder.pm for the main documentation, which is in POD format. The distribution also includes a ChangeLog file to say what changes already happened, and a TODO file to say what changes have yet to happen. The file INSTALL should help with installation issues. Read below for how to get support or keep up to date, know this distribution's dependencies, or read the credits or copyright and license. KEEPING UP TO DATE My module set is constantly under development. You should be able to find the newest versions at my website, "http://www.DarrenDuncan.net", on the page called "Perl Libraries I Made" (name subject to change). They can also be found on CPAN under the author name of "DUNCAND". I am inclined to update the copies on my web site more often, but those intermediate versions are more likely to have been tested less, and the modules may be updated day by day without increasing the version numbers. However, the copies on CPAN are guaranteed to have unique version numbers when the module has changed. DEPENDENCIES Perl Version: 5.008001 Core Modules: Test::More 0.47 (but only for the test suite) Non-Core Modules: Locale::KeyedText 1.03 (for error messages) SQL::Routine 0.58 This module doesn't require anything else. SUPPORT Currently I don't have any support arranged with other people, lists, newsgroups, or otherwise. Feel free to ask me if you can't figure things out on your own, or another person whom you know has used this. I may start a mailing list for support issues later, so that users of my modules can help each other with them. CREDITS None besides myself so far.

An independent module is a module which is not derived from or based on SQL::Routine::SQLBuilder, and which is fully useable when not linked to SQL::Routine::SQLBuilder in any form.
