Perl interface to the PC/SC smart card library

This package contains a Perl wrapper to the PC/SC smartcard library (pcsc-lite) [1] from MUSCLE [2] together with some small examples.

You can find applications using this wrapper in the pcsc-tools package [3].

Build and Install:

A very quick documentation on how to build and install the wrapper.

$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make

Insert a smart card in the (first) PCSC reader

$ make test
$ sudo make install

Remarks

For Windows users:

Status behaves different on Unix and from Win32

        it returns the Atr len
        it does not return any error like

Card/Card.pm: . ISO7816Error(): return an error if given $sw if not 5 chars long "xx xx" . Transmit(): return (undef) if the protocol is not defined. This happens if you change a T=0 card with a T=1 (or vice versa) and try to exchange an APDU without disconnecting first.

1.4.0 - 20 May 2004, Ludovic ROUSSEAU

use a new Control() API to reflect the change in SCardControl() in pcsc-lite. We now have $RecvData = $hCard->Control($control_code, \@SendData);
load libpcsclite.so.1 instead of libpcsclite.so.0

1.3.1 - 2 April 2004, Ludovic ROUSSEAU

do not use PCSCLITE_MAX_CHANNELS anymor since it is no more defined by pcsc-lite > 1.2.0 and is not defined under Windows
test.pl: add demo code for GetStatusChange()

Card.pm: by default use T=0 | T=1 protocols instead of just T=0

Also thanks to Wolfgang Hommel for uploading the package to CPAN and registering the official name Chipcard::PCSC (Wolfgang is maintainer of the Chipcard::CTAPI wrapper)

1.2.1 - 24 May 2003, Ludovic ROUSSEAU

redesign the Makefile.PL to make the modules at least installable
add Card/Makefile.PL to also install Chipcard::PCSC::Card

naming scheme migration from PCSC to Chipcard::PCSC
add TransmitWithCheck() and Chipcard::PCSC::Card::ISO7816Error() functions
