Contenta Perl API
Contenta includes a Perl API.
- Contenta Explorer client
- Contenta web server
- Contenta application/portal server
The Perl API interfaces directly with the Contenta portal socket via TCP/IP, and works with PERL scripts that use PCMAPIMgr.pm, that is scripts using the Perl Web Services API Wrapper or the COM/CORBA API. The PCMAPIMgr.pm module has been written to interface existing Perl scripts with the Perl API. The path of this module is: Contenta_Home/encaps/PerlAPI/PCMAPIMgr.pm.
Existing Perl tools that use the PCMAPIMgr.pm module do not need to be modified because the install/upgrade programs insert the path of the new PCMAPIMgr.pm at the beginning of the PERL5LIB environment variable.
