Data::Kanji::Kanjidic is a "module" for the Perl computer programming language, a library of computer code to install on a computer. This document contains four sections: 1. About - what the module does 2. Documentation - how to learn more about the module 3. Installation - how to install this module on a computer 4. Help - what to do if you get stuck ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. ABOUT Data::Kanji::Kanjidic - parse the "kanjidic" kanji data file This is a module for extracting the data from the old-format "kanjidic" kanji dictionary file created by Professor Jim Breen. This module's basic function is to read the "kanjidic" file into memory and create a data structure from it. The user then uses this data structure for whatever purpose. Parsing Kanjidic takes a second or two. Here the Kanjidic file is the as-downloaded text file in the old format, rather than the new-format XML file. There are several examples of the module's use in the "examples" directory of the distribution, including all the code in the module's documentation. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. DOCUMENTATION You can read the documentation for the module online at the following websites: * http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Data::Kanji::Kanjidic * http://metacpan.org/release/Data-Kanji-Kanjidic (These links go to the latest version of the module.) After installing the module, you can read the documentation on your computer using perldoc Data::Kanji::Kanjidic ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. INSTALLATION This module requires Perl version 5.6.1 or later. To install the module from CPAN, use cpan Data::Kanji::Kanjidic If you have the App::cpanminus installer, you may prefer cpanm Data::Kanji::Kanjidic To install the module from the source file, Data-Kanji-Kanjidic-0.14.tar.gz, follow this sequence of commands: tar xfz Data-Kanji-Kanjidic-0.14.tar.gz cd Data-Kanji-Kanjidic-0.14 perl Makefile.PL make make install If you want to test the module before installing it, use "make test" after "make" and before "make install". ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.
