To install the package, assure to have write permissions for you Perl Library directories. Then do the lines:

perl Makefile.PL

make install

This will install the Laola:: module hierarchy to your system and also the demo programs:

lclean - cleans trash out of OLE docs ldat - lists PropertySets in OLE docs lhalw - converts MS Word 6+ docs to text lls - lists file structure of OLE docs

If you need assure where to install executables, library files and manpages, install the distribution with the PREFIX option, like:

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/usr/local/

make install
