DESCRIPTION XML::Simple - Easy API to read/write XML (esp config files) PREREQUISITES XML::Simple requires XML::Parser (if you're running ActivePerl, you'll already have this installed). The optional caching features of XML::Simple also require Storable.pm. BUILDING/INSTALLING Once the archive is unpacked, use these commands: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install If for some reason, you can't run these commands, you can simple copy the Simple.pm file to your lib/XML directory (where Parser.pm lives). If you want to test the module, but don't have 'make', try: perl maketest STATUS This version (1.08) is the current stable release. This version is believed to be thread-safe. Please send any feedback to the author: grantm@cpan.org NEW IN THIS RELEASE This is a re-release of 1.06 (stable) with minor updates: - searchpath option now defaults to current directory if not set - fix to Storable test routine for test failures on Win32 - removed obselete 'convert' script from distribution See 'Changes' for a detailed history.
