Orthogonal Object Persistence in Relational Databases

Tangram is an object-relational mapper. It makes objects persist in relational databases, and provides powerful facilities for retrieving and filtering them. Tangram fully supports object-oriented programming, including polymorphism, multiple inheritance and collections. It does so in an orthogonal fashion, that is, it doesn't require your classes to implement support functions nor inherit from a utility class.

Tangram builds upon DBI, so you'll need to install DBI and at least one DBD driver if that is not done already. You will also need Set::Object. These modules are available from CPAN.

If you intend to run the regression tests (recommended), you will also need to prepare an empty database before starting the installation procedure.
