Installation

To install the script and man pages in the standard areas, give the sequence of commands

$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make
$ make test
$ make install # you probably need to do this step as superuser

If you want to install the script in your own private space, use

$ perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/joeuser \

        INSTALLMAN1DIR=/home/joeuser/man/man1 \
        INSTALLMAN3DIR=/home/joeuser/man/man3      

$ make
$ make test
$ make install # can do this step as joeuser

Note that `make test` does nothing interesting.

Uninstallation

Under a user with sufficient permissions and from the program distribution directory, execute

perl Makefile.PL

if there isn't a file called Makefile. Then execute

make uninstall

This sometimes works, and sometimes it does not. If it refuses to work, you can simply remove all files by hand. Look for the .packlist file which perl created when installing the software and remove all files you find in there.

User Scripts

The user scripts can be packaged independently in a bare tarball (no Makefile), which may be easier for some users to install. This can be generated by executing

make scripts-dist
