XAS is a set of modules, procedures and practices to help write consistent Perl5 code for an operations environment. For the most part, this follows the Unix tradition of small discrete components that communicate in well defined ways.
This system is cross platform capable. It will run under Windows as well as Unix like environments without a code rewrite. This allows you to write your code once and run it wherever.
This code is based on a production system that has been running for over 10 years. It incorporates the accumulated knowledge of running a distributed system, written in Perl5.
Installation of this system is fairly straight forward. You can install it in the usual Perl fashion or there are build scripts for creating Debian and RedHat install packages. Please see the included README for details.
