Free small business association software for linux

Kumula is designed to become a complete software suite for business needs. Started as software for consultants, it is flexible enough to be used by almost any class of business. Kumula Business Suite provides a small CRM (Clients) and a Mini-DMS (Documents), enhanced by some other applications. Everybody is invited to use it or enhance it.
Kumula is written in Qt (http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/), PyQt and Python using the fabulous Eric3 development environment.
Enhancements:
- This is the last stable release before Ill port it to Qt4 (as "Kumula2"), so I feel free to call it "1.0".
- The whole suite is becoming bigger and bigger, so now its time to split it. This is the base package with the central Kumula library and the most important applications. The package contains the following programs:
BizCalc:
- The modular designed calculator tool, coming with a spartanic RPN calculator and an unit conversion module
Clients:
- The client/customer management application, with many improvements (like individual client attributes) and the modules "Info" (logo+description), "Contacts" (for managing contact persones, addresses and communication data) and "Tickets" (for letting the users talk about a client like on a web forum)
Configurator:
- The central configuration utility, to setup the database access and the user interface (menus, icons, ...) of all Kumula applications.
Users:
- A small tool for managing the people using Kumula.
- Further application will be provided in separate packages for easier maintenance and faster bugfixes and updates.

Business::Associates::XML is a Perl module for encapsulating XML, XSL, and XSLT operations for the Associates package.

SYNOPSIS

use Business::Associates::Data();
use Business::Associates::XML();

$data = Business::Associates::Data->$type ($what, $mode);
$xml = new Business::Associates::XML ($data) if defined $data;
$s = $xml->transform($ss_name, %args) if defined $xml;
print "nn$sn";

METHODS

new($data [, %options ])
This constructor takes an Business::Associates::Data object as the required argument. The optional options hash can be used to set additional values.
xml

This is the parsed xml string. If you want to pass special arguments to the XML::LibXML library then you can do it with this argument:

$data = Business::Associates::Data->$type ($what, $mode);
my $xml_string = $data->xml();
my $parser = XML::LibXML->new();
$parser->load_ext_dtd(0); # Global setting, unfortunately :-(
my $xml = new Business::Associates::XML(
xml => $parser->parse_string($xml_string));
...

It is possibly more efficient to access this element directly after the construction to set the options on the newly constructed XML::LibXML object.

transform($stylesheet_name [, %args ] )

This method transforms the XML using the named stylesheet, parsing any additional arguments to the stylesheet transform method. Typically, these additional arguments are used to set global XSLT parameters.

$data = Business::Associates::Data->$type ($what, $mode);
$xml = new Business::Associates::XML ($data);
$s = $xml->transform($ss_name, width => "3");

Note that these are named stylesheets. By default, they are found in the Base_Directory (see "Base_Directory") with the same name and the extension .xslt. To change this, either change the Base_Directory variable, or derive another class from this, overriding the get_stylesheet method.
