LWP-Protocol-virtual PURPOSE and POINT This URI schema and Protocol work together to allow virtualization of URL's. For example, consider the URL's you might use to access a file on CPAN: ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/authors/id/S/SN/SNOWHARE/... Lingua-Stem-0.81.tar.gz Well, you could just as easily use: file://home/mine/cpan/mirror or http://cpan.org/gotta/be/there/somewhere Well, with virtual:// URLs, you don't have to use any of them. Or at least not directly. You just take a group, and name it in ~/.lwp_virt, and then use INSTALLATION To install this module, run the following commands: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install or, if you use GNU make, just make make install COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE Copyright (C) 2005 Rich Paul
