NAME Pipeworks - Pipeline Processing Framework SYNOPSIS use Pipeworks::Pipeline::MyDoc; use Pipeworks::Message::GetBody; my $line = Pipeworks::Pipeline::MyDoc->new; # same as Pipeworks::Stage::FetchURL->new( ... ) $line->register( 'FetchURL' ); $line->register( 'GetDocumentBody' ); $line->register( sub { my $msg = shift; warn( "body:\n" . $msg->body ) } ); # same as Pipeworks::Message::GetBody->new( ... ) my $message = $line->message( GetBody => { url => 'http://localhost/', } ); my $result = $line->process( $message ); DESCRIPTION This is a message oriented pipeline processing framework to enable separation of concerns, organization of individual functionality and improve code-reuse though aspect orientation. It simply allows to define and organize pipelines that process messages in multiple steps and return a result. HISTORY Originally the basic idea is inspired by UNIX concepts. There was a lot of thinking how to represent a similar model in programming without losing important benefits that UNIX provides. When Steve Bate wrote a blog post about Messaging as a Programming Model things came together, started to make sense and code began to materialize this implementation.
