$ sudo cpan XML::XSH2

as normal user.

Follow the instructions on http://xsh.sourceforge.net/download.html

Requirements

---

• Perl version >= 5.8.0
• libxml2 and libxslt libraries (http://xmlsoft.org) (available on majority of recent Linux distributions)

The following CPAN modules are required (these requirements are automatically resolved by the cpan installer and are also bundled with the tar-ball distribution).

IO::Scalar
Term::ReadLine::Perl

  Parse::RecDescent          (>=1.80)
  XML::LibXML::Common        (>=0.13)
  XML::LibXML                (>=1.62)
  XML::LibXSLT               (>=1.62)
  XML::LibXML::Iterator  
  XML::XUpdate::LibXML       (>=0.6.0)
  XML::SAX::Writer           (>=0.44)

XML::Filter::DOMFilter::LibXML

For the full list of dependences, see
http://xsh.sourceforge.net/requirements.html

Installing on Windows

XSH2 runs also on Microsoft Windows with Active Perl 5.8 (http://www.activestate.com) with some limitations:

• the TAB-completion does not work in windows console
• output redirection feature does not work and is disabled

A bundle of packages for installation using the ActivePerl "Perl Package Manager" can be obtained from
http://xsh.sourceforge.net/download.html.

Another possibility for running XSH2 on Win32 is to use some POSIX environment such as Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/). In that case, installation instructions for Unix/Linux apply and all features should work as on UNIX.
