Alien::RRDtool - Installation of Perl bindings to RRDtool
This document describes Alien::RRDtool version 0.06.
use RRDs; # see RRDtool documentation
This distribution installs RRDs.pm on perls. The RRDtool package will install RRDs.pm to the system perl, but there're cases we need to install it to perls installded by ourselves.
NOTES: This distribution doesn't install rrdtool itself yet, as other Alien::* dists do, but it does so in a future.
First, you must install the following C libraries which RRDtool depends on:
pkg-config gettext glib xml2 pango cairo XQuartz (for MacOSX)
Some of them might be installed by default.
Second, you can install this distribution by cpanm:
cpanm
cpanm Alien::RRDtool
Then, you can use the RRDs module.
RRDs
Perl 5.8.1 or later.
RRDtool depends on pkg-config, gettext, glib, xml2, pango and cairo. You shuould install those libraries by yourself with a package manager.
All complex software has bugs lurking in it, and this module is no exception. If you find a bug please either email me, or add the bug to cpan-RT.
