README file for DBIx::Admin::TableInfo. 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 DBIx-Admin-TableInfo-1.02.tgz shell>tar mxvf DBIx-Admin-TableInfo-1.02.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 TableInfo.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 TableInfo.pm > /apache2/htdocs/TableInfo.html or perhaps something like: shell>perl fancy-pom2.pl html -css TableInfo.pm > /perl/html/site/lib/DBIx/Admin/TableInfo.html 2 Installing from an ActiveState distro --------------------------------------- shell>unzip DBIx-Admin-TableInfo-1.02.zip shell>ppm install --location=.
