For the most part, users on Unix-like operating system can do:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
The module library tried to speed thing up when running in forkmode by using fpruge() to delete potential duplicated buffers. Unfortunately, althrough fpurge() is in the GNU manual, operating systems largely implement it very differently. The Makefile.PL does some magic to find out where your particular version of fpurge is. Usually it can be found in stdio.h or stdio_ext.h, so make sure those are in your INCLUDE path. It is also sometimes named fpurge _fpurge or __fpurge.
COMPILE NOTES
The module was written to compile silently with -Wall -pedantic -ansi. Some warnings might be generated from methods like XS_blah. These are in Perl generated code and cannot be fixed by me.
