Bradley M. Kuhn 42800427f6 bean-query daemon: initial version. 
This is a very basic daemon to run bean-query so that other Perl programs
can call it.  The speed savings is not really there yet, as to get that, it
would need to leave bean-query running, perhaps timing out and reloading
files as needed.  That's the long term plan.

Right now, all that this is useful for is to run another Perl process that
wants to submit and receive answers to bean-query.

Beancount Tools Written in Perl

These are various tools written in Perl to interact with Beancount project.

bean-query-goofy-daemon.plx

This daemon uses Perl's IPC::Shareable library to take queries as a daemon for Beancount's bean-query. Note that this daemon is not particularly secure, as it has the same security flaws inherent in IPC::Shareable and use of named pipes (as it uses mkfifo from Perl's POSIX library underneath.

bean-query-daemon-lib.pl

This file defines three functions to use in client scripts that want to talk to bean-query-goofy-daemon.plx.

It's not an actual Perl library; just use require in Perl to load it.
