OpenPlugin is an architecture written in Perl which manages plugins for Web applications. It allows you to incorporate any number of plugins and drivers into your Web application. For example, the Log plugin has drivers for logging to STDERR, files, syslog, email, and so on. The Session plugin has drivers for storing sessions in files, databases, and the like. Changing drivers is easy; you just change the driver name in a config file. There are plugins which abstract Apache::Request and CGI.pm, allowing you to build applications that can work seamlessly under mod_perl or CGI. If you want to move your application from one environment to another, you can just change the driver being used in the config file.
