PREREQUISITES

In order to install and use this package you will need Perl version 5.8.0 or better (although I don't expect problems with older versions, but I didn't test them).

Other packages needed:
Archive::Zip
If you don't want to use this, and you are on a Linux system with access to a zip program, take a look at the OOBuilder.pm file, search for 'zip', and you will find some instructions how to change this. If you do so, please let me know. If enough people want this to be an option, I'll try to implement that in one of the next releases.
