Enterprise Perl Initiative

Pushing Perl to the Enterprise

This initiative is a trial in pushing Perl to another level in the development of enterprise services. This involves many areas, such as:

• Authentication
• Authorization
• Transactions
• Service Visibility
• Service Discovery

This is usually deployed by what we call an Application Server, which integrates all this features in a coherent framework making it easier to deploy new functionality in a system.

Choosing a model

• ServidorAplicacao.dia: Fonte do diagrama

In this diagram, the big dashed box is an Application Server Node. Inside the node, each service is a isolated proccess which communicates with the others using a IPC mechanism based on FCGI and Unix Sockets, so the security is made on the operating system itself.
