README file for DFA::Command. Warning: WinZip 8.1 and 9.0 both contain an 'accidental' bug which stops them recognizing POSIX-style directory structures in valid tar files. You are better off using a reliable tool such as InfoZip: ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/ 1 Installing from a Unix-like distro ------------------------------------ shell>gunzip DFA-Command-1.98.tgz shell>tar mxvf DFA-Command-1.98.tar On Unix-like systems, assuming you have installed Module::Build V 0.25+: shell>perl Build.PL shell>./Build shell>./Build test shell>./Build install On MS Windows-like systems, assuming you have installed Module::Build V 0.25+: shell>perl Build.PL shell>perl Build shell>perl Build test shell>perl Build install Alternately, without Module::Build, you do this: Note: 'make' on MS Windows-like systems may be called 'nmake' or 'dmake'. shell>perl Makefile.PL shell>make shell>make test shell>su (for Unix-like systems) shell>make install shell>exit (for Unix-like systems) On all systems: Run Command.pm through you favourite pod2html translator. If you are using my fancy-pom2.pl, with its 'default.css' file installed in /apache2/htdocs/css/, you'd do: shell>perl fancy-pom2.pl html -css Command.pm > /apache2/htdocs/Command.html or perhaps something like: shell>perl fancy-pom2.pl html -css Command.pm > /perl/html/site/lib/DFA/Command.html 2 Installing from an ActiveState distro --------------------------------------- shell>unzip DFA-Command-1.98.zip shell>ppm install --location=. DFA-Command shell>del DFA-Command-1.98.ppd shell>del PPM-DFA-Command-1.98.tar.gz
