Locale-KeyedText --------------------------------------------------------------------------- by Darren Duncan PREFACE This distribution features the Perl 5 module named "Locale::KeyedText"; see the file lib/Locale/KeyedText.pm for the main documentation, which is in POD format, plus the Dependencies and Copyright. The distribution also includes a Changes file to say what changes already happened, and a TODO file to say what changes have yet to happen. The file INSTALL should help with installation issues. The examples/ directory contains several small programs you can try out and see what Locale::KeyedText can do. Read below for how to get support or keep up to date. KEEPING UP TO DATE My module set is constantly under development. The canonical copies are all linked to through my website, "http://www.DarrenDuncan.net/", on the page called "Perl Libraries I Made" (name subject to change). For those of you that are interested in the bleeding edge of development, I have all parts of this "Locale-KeyedText" distribution in one or more public Subversion repositories; these repositories only contain revisions made in mid-2005 and later. The "Locale-KeyedText" modules exist in 2 distinct code major bases, separated by a ground-up rewrite process. The first major code base, whose development had started in late 2003 and ended as of 2005.09.28, is at "http://svn.utsl.gen.nz/trunk/Rosetta-old/". The second major code base, whose development had started on 2005.09.30 and continues thru to the present, is available in 2 parallel versions at "http://svn.openfoundry.org/pugs/ext/Locale-KeyedText/" (Perl 6) and at "http://svn.utsl.gen.nz/trunk/Locale-KeyedText/" (Perl 5). You can download slightly older versions of all of my modules from the public CPAN archives at "http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/D/DU/DUNCAND/", or on my own web server at "http://www.DarrenDuncan.net/d/perl". CPAN also extracts the POD from modules and maintains that documentation in an organized and searchable fashion. Their main search site is at "http://search.cpan.org", and my own DUNCAND author page is at "http://search.cpan.org/search?author=DUNCAND". You can download my oldest tarred and gzipped distributions from BACKPAN, at "http://history.perl.org/backpan/authors/id/D/DU/DUNCAND/", or from my web server, at "http://www.DarrenDuncan.net/d/perl/archives/", right back to the libdwg 1.0, first released on 2000 July 23. SUPPORT Currently I don't have any support arranged with other people, lists, newsgroups, or otherwise. Feel free to ask me if you can't figure things out on your own, or another person whom you know has used this. I may start a mailing list for support issues later, so that users of my modules can help each other with them. FIN Share and Enjoy!
