Installation Instructions The instructions are basically as per any Perl module. INSTALLING AUTOMATICALLY ------------------------ The easiest way to install is via CPAN or CPANPLUS: CPAN: % perl -MCPAN -e shell [as root] > install Data-FormValidator-Constraints-Words > quit CPANPLUS: % cpanp > i Data-FormValidator-Constraints-Words > q See your local 'perldoc CPAN' or 'perldoc CPANPLUS' for instructions on setting up and configuring CPAN or CPANPLUS. OBTAINING THE MODULE -------------------- The latest release version of Data-FormValidator-Constraints-Words can be downloaded from any CPAN site: Phrasebook is distributed as a gzipped tar archive file: Data-FormValidator-Constraints-Words-.tar.gz where represents the current version number, e.g. 0.01. To install the module, unpack the distribution archive to create an installation directory. Something like this: tar zxf Data-FormValidator-Constraints-Words-0.01.tar.gz or gunzip Data-FormValidator-Constraints-Words-0.01.tar.gz tar xf Data-FormValidator-Constraints-Words-0.01.tar You can then 'cd' into the directory created, cd Data-FormValidator-Constraints-Words-0.01 INSTALLING MANUALLY ------------------- The 'make install' (done later) will install the modules and scripts on your system. You may need administrator privileges to perform this task. Alternately you can install the module to a local directory (see ExtUtils::MakeMaker for full details), e.g. % perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/me/ Don't forget to update your PERL5LIB environment variable if you do this, or add a line to your script to tell Perl where to find the files, e.g. use lib qw( /home/me/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 ); If you're not after a custom location, just do: % perl Makefile.PL If you are lacking any of the prerequisite modules, running that program will tell you. All prerequisites are available from CPAN. When you have them all: % make && make test If there are any failures, it's best if you contact me. It may help other people who have the same problem. I don't tend to read the Perl newsgroups or PerlMonks, so it's no use posting there. When you report your trouble, be sure to send me the following information; + result of `perl -V' + output from 'make test' - ideally do 'make test TEST_VERBOSE=1 >& errs' Send those to and I'll get back to you as soon as I'm able. If it worked, then become root and type: # make install Congratulations. You've just installed Data::FormValidator::Constraints::Words::UTF8. If you have a copy of cpantest installed, type: % cpantest -g pass -nc -p `basename \`pwd\`` -auto Or: % cpantest -g pass -nc -p Data-FormValidator-Constraints-Words-0.01 -auto That will tell both me and other potential users that the module built correctly on your machine.
