Device-ACPI-Battery ==================================== ABOUT This module is used to collect information about batteries managed with ACPI by scraping the files found under /proc/acpi/battery/. Useful for tasks such as displaying battery status in terminal (what I use it for). PREREQUISITES Proper use of this module requires that your kernel has ACPI installed and is used to manage your battery, so please check your list of installed kernel modules (/proc/modules, look for 'battery') before attempting to use. An easy way to find out is by checking if /proc/acpi/battery exists and if it has any subdirectories similar to the default path specified above. If so, set $self->path to that full path. INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Copyright (C) 2010 by aesop This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
