My xPL hub is based on John Bent's xPL ToolKit for Perl.
Install the hub
Download the tarball. It contains:
-
xpl-hub.pl: the hub -
xpl-monitor.pl: a monitor which allows to view the xPL messages -
xpl-send.pl: a utility for sending xPL messages -
xPL: a directory containing Perl functions common to all the scripts
Move it to the location you want the scripts to reside.
This could be /opt/xPL or /usr/opt/xPL.
I personally create a control user who will run these scripts
and I place the files in /home/control/Documents/Controls on a Linux machine
or in /Users/control/Documents/Controls on a Mac.
Extract it:
tar -xvjpf xPL_base.tar.bz2
