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

Test the hub
