VCI

I recently tried out VCI, a Perl interface that facilitates interaction with various version-control systems. The process of connecting was simple enough with the code,  my $repository = VCI->connect(type => $type, repo => $repo);.

VCI offers a generic Version Control Interface purposely created to develop a common API that is capable of interfacing with any version control systems. This is a commendable goal that could potentially save developers time and energy that would have gone into learning multiple APIs of different version control systems.

The version control interface of VCI uses Moose. Therefore, all constructors used in generating objects possess the new name, although "connect" is recommended for VCI. All instances of constructors take named parameters in a hash but not a hashref.

It was quite helpful to discover that VCI has a home page located at . Nonetheless, it is vital to note that the interface of all VCI modules may currently be considered unstable. This instability stems from the possibility of me making breaking changes to fix any design problems.

Overall, my experience with VCI was a pleasant one as it is a good software tool for version control system interactions. Its stability may need some work, but the potential of the API interface is worth taking the risk for.
