DateTime/Calendar/FrenchRevolutionary version 0.01 ================================================== This is a companion module to DateTime.pm. It implements the French Revolutionary calendar and decimal time. INSTALLATION The preferred way, which requires Module::Build, is: perl Build.PL ./Build ./Build test ./Build install If Module::Build is not installed, you can still use the old way by first removing Build.PL from the directory and removing the corresponding entry from MANIFEST, and then using the old-fashioned mantra: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Note to the users of old filesystems. All filenames except one (the most important) respect the 8.3 convention used by MS-DOS. If you use an old filesystem such as MS-DOS's filesystem or the old Unix filesystem with a 14-char limit, you should find how the name lib/DateTime/Calendar/FrenchRevolutionary.pm has been mangled, rename it to a name compatible with your filesystem and replace all occurrences of the string "FrenchRevolutionary" with the new name in all files, including MANIFEST. ALTERNATE INSTALL This module can be installed on a perl-less computer! All you need, on this computer, is: - tar and gzip, or compatible software - a table-aware HTML browser (no Internet connection required if you downloaded the archive from a local network or a CD-ROM) - a printer. The installation steps are: - Gunzip and untar the archive. - Go to the eg/result subdirectory. - Open the various files ending in "en.html" (or, if you are a French-speaker, ending in "fr.html") with the HTML browser. - Print them. That's all!
