Eidetic is a middleware library for building database driven applications with Perl. It provides handlers for displaying, editing, searching, and administrating data in various ways. It is intended to be interface-generic, including web, commandline, daemon, and other types of interfacing to be used. It is currently used by several applications, including STP, docsys, and rackview.

The development goal for Eidetic is to provide standardized, reusable operations and interface elements to make it trivial to construct a customized database application with web, commandline, and other interfaces for making a huge variety of shared lists, forms, etc. We've got a long way to go to get there, though!

The Eidetic Interface System is part of:

• Scalable Test Platform
• Racked Hardware Visualization Tool
• Document Management System
• the future "Eidetic Account Tools" project (see DMS above)
