xsh - an XML Editing Shell

Copyright (c) 2002 Petr Pajas

To install xsh, first install all required modules as described below. Then install xsh either

automatically (highly recommended):

From CPAN:

$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install XML::XSH

From tar-ball

$ unzip xsh-1.??.tar.gz
$ cd xsh-1.??
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make
$ make install

you may use `perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=<prefix>' to install to a directory tree different from /usr

or

manually

---

1. copy xsh to some location in your PATH
2. copy lib/XSH subdirectory and its content into one of the following

locations

• a directory in Perl's @INC search path
• the directory where you placed xsh
• a lib/ directory in the parent directory of the directory where xsh is located
• a lib/ sub-directory in the directory where xsh is located

For example:
cp xsh /usr/local/bin
cp -R XSH/ /usr/local/lib
chmod 775 /usr/local/bin/xsh # if your tar did not preserve this

Installing modules from CPAN

If you have a direct internet connection, you may install Perl modules from CPAN by typing

answering few initial questions and installing the modules one by one with

cpan> install <module-name>
