WELCOME TO OWL
OWL is a powerful, Java/(Java+Perl) framework for creating leading edge bots in Java/Perl. Using this framework one can create extremely dynamic bots with minimal amounts of coding.
FEATURES OF OWL
* Modularised & Simplified for Bot developers - A simple perl bot is only 4 lines under Pigeon.
* Multi-Threaded - can serve more than one request at one consuming minimal system resources
* Plug and Play - Can add/remove functionality through a config file.
* Single instance server all - Traditional bots only supports limited functionality. But with OWL you can place all your scripts under one instance rather than running multiple specific purpose bots.
* Easy maintenance - Its plug and Play, Single instance makes it easy to maintain.
* Supports Java & Perl & Python - PS: Python bot was never developed / tested.
* Free - it can be downloaded freely and used without restriction. I appreciate if you let me know enhancements you make in the code.
