Installation instructions for Module::Build
To install this module, just do:
perl Build.PL
./Build
./Build test
./Build install (this step may need to be done as the superuser)
Or, if you're on a platform (like DOS or Windows) that doesn't require
the "./" notation, you can do this:
perl Build.PL
Build
Build test
Build install
The important thing is that the "Build" script gets executed and that
you pass it the "test", "install", etc. arguments.
If you really want to, you can use a more traditional Makefile.PL:
perl Makefile.PL
make test
make install (this step may need to be done as the superuser)
Substitute "nmake" or "gmake" for "make" if you use some other
make-alike on your platform - 'perl -V:make' can tell you what you
should use.
I recommend using the Build.PL option. If you use the Makefile.PL
option, you'll actually be using the Build.PL option under the surface
anyway, with a pass-through Makefile.
There's heaps more information in the README and in the documentation
of the various packages in this distribution.
