IO-Socket-TIPC version 0.01 ===================================== This is a TIPC (Transparent Inter-Process Communication) module for perl. See http://tipc.sf.net/ if you don't know what this is. INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DEPENDENCIES This module requires these other modules and libraries: An operating system supported by TIPC, which also has Perl. (So far, that means Linux.) At build-time, it must be able to find the header file "tipc.h". It will try /usr/include/linux and a couple of well-known Linux kernel locations before giving up. At runtime, it expects your kernel to have TIPC enabled. (You'll see a line in your /proc/net/protocols that starts with "TIPC".) Without this, some of the most important tests will be skipped, and none of the examples will work. If you've built TIPC as a module, be sure you've loaded it with the "modprobe" command. The Scalar::Util and Switch perl modules are required. In addition to the above, the test suite uses Test::Exception, Test::Pod and Devel::Leak. Without each of these, it will skip a portion of the tests. Note: the Devel::Leak tests result in a lot of ugly hexspam, so it probably isn't worth the trouble. The other two modules are very helpful, though. I'm looking forward to supporting other operating systems, as soon as TIPC itself does. Patches are always welcome.
