The “Jarvis” Restful Web-Application framework is a targeted solution for Perl developers providing a general-purpose, secure web-application interface to a back-end database. The Jarvis library is used within several N-Squared products and customer solutions.
The Jarvis Restful Web-Service library is open-source, and is released under the permissive LGPL Licence.
Jarvis is available here in .deb and .rpm package formats (including source
code, demo applications and documentation). The Jarvis Documentation is
included in each package, but is also linked here for your convenience.

Note: For Jarvis 5.6 and later, the plugin “do” method now includes CGI arguments, numbed and named restful arguments. Previously it provided only numbered restful arguments. This change means that $user_args is now a HASH reference, not an ARRAY reference. You may need to change existing plugins to match.
