Class::ObjectTemplate --------------------- This package contains Perl extension for an optimized template builder base class. This module was first described in the O'Reilly book "Advanced Perl Programming" by Sriram Srinivasan. Versions -------- The original code from the book is available as version 0.1. Only minor changes were made (mainly addition of Makefile.PL and test.pl). There are some inheritance problems with this version. Version 0.2 fixes the inheritance problems. Later versions add nicer POD documentation, and various code improvements. Verifying the Release --------------------- The current maintainer, Jason E. Stewart (jason@openinformatics.com), signs every release with his GnuPG public key. This is to help you ensure that you are installing only officially sanctioned code, from the official maintainer. By downloading the source code and signature from one location (possibly open to attack) and the public key from an official key server, you greatly reduce the chance of installing software that is dangerous to you. Getting the Public key You can use any keyserver you wish, such as www.keyserver.net, and search for jason@openinformatics.com Using PGP to verify the code 1. Add the key to your keyring: pgpk -a key_file 2. Verify the source code file pgpv <> <>.asc 3. If you receive any other response than: Good signature, something went wrong, so don't trust the file. Using GnuPG to verify the code 1. Import the key to your keyring: gpg --import key_file 2. Verify the source code file gpg --verify <> <>.asc 3. If you receive any other response than: gpg: Good signature, something went wrong, so don't trust the file. Authors ------- Copyright 1998-2002 Jason E.
