Pgreet - README

NAME

Pgreet - Perl modules to support the ecard application:

Penguin Greetings.

DESCRIPTION

The Perl modules: Pgreet (Pgreet.pm,) Pgreet::Config (Pgreet/Config.pm,) Pgreet::Error (Pgreet/Error.pm,) Pgreet::CGIUtils (Pgreet/CGIUtils.pm,) Pgreet:DaemonUtils (Pgreet/DaemonUtils.pm,) Pgreet::ExecEmbperl (Pgreet/ExecEmbperl.pm,) and Pgreet::ExecMason (Pgreet/ExecMason.pm) provide shared functionality for the application of the Penguin Greetings ecard application. Also included in this distribution are the files associated with Pgreet::I18N (Pgreet/I18N/*.pm) which provide localization for most of the Penguin Greetings secondary ecard sites via the Perl module: Locale::Maketext. None of this modules are intended to be used by other applications in general. You can learn more about Penguin Greetings (pgreet) at its SourceForge

site

http://pgreet.sourceforge.net/

        POD module documentation is provided for those who might wish
        either to work on Penguin Greetings or adapt these modules to some
        other purpose.

PREREQUISITES

        This module requires the following Perl modules to be installed in
        addition to those included in Perl 5.8.x: Apache::Htpasswd,
        Config::General, Date::Pcalc, Digest::MD5, Embperl,
        I18N::AcceptLanguage, Log::Dispatch, MIME::Lite, String::Checker.
        These are required in order to attempting installing the module at
        all.  There are two other modules that may be needed depending on
        your application: Locale::Maketext and HTML::Mason.  The
        Locale::Maketext is used in all but one of the bilingual Penguin
        Greetings sites, and HTML::Mason is needed for any Penguin
        Greetings sites that use Mason instead of Embperl, such as the
        PgSeattle site.  If you wish to use the test suite to confirm
        functionality of Pgreet module with these two CPAN modules, you
        will need to install them before running the test suite.
        Otherwise the test suite will skip those tests.

INSTALLATION

        Installing these modules to support Penguin Greetings follows
        standard Perl conventions.  One can install the library by running
        the following commands:

           perl Makefile.PL
           make
       make test
           make install

        The "make install" command must be run as superuser (root.)
