------------ Installation ------------ To install the script and man pages in the standard areas, give the sequence of commands perl Makefile.PL make make test make install # you probably need to do this step as superuser If you want to install the script in your own private space, use perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/joeuser INSTALLMAN1DIR=/home/joeuser/man/man1 INSTALLMAN3DIR=/home/joeuser/man/man3 make make test make install # can do this step as joeuser Note that `make test` does nothing interesting. -------------- Uninstallation -------------- Under a user with sufficient permissions and from the program distribution directory, execute perl Makefile.PL if there isn't a file called Makefile. Then execute make uninstall This sometimes works, and sometimes it does not. If it refuses to work, you can simply remove all files by hand. Look for the .packlist file which perl created when installing the software and remove all files you find in there.
