Net::Calais provides a Perl interface to the OpenCalais platform. See http://www.opencalais.com/ for more information.

Net::Calais may be installed through the CPAN shell in the usual manner. Typically:

$ perl -MCPAN -e 'install Net::Calais'

You can also read this README from the CPAN shell:

$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> readme Net::Calais

And you can install the component from the CPAN prompt as well:

cpan> install Net::Calais

This module may also be installed manually. Its distribution is available from the author's CPAN directory, <ftp://ftp.cpan.org/pub/CPAN/authors/id/A/AA/AAR/>, or a similarly named directory at your favorite CPAN mirror.

Downloading and unpacking the distribution are left as exercises for the reader. To build and test it:

perl Makefile.PL
make test

When you're ready to install the component:

make install

It should now be ready to use.

Thanks for reading!
