Installation of ARSperl

  1. Download the distribution (tar/gzip - 80K) (also available via ftp)
  2. Unpack (requires gzip and tar)
  3. Edit the Makefile.PL and follow the brief instructions at the top of it.
  4. Type "perl Makefile.PL"
  5. Type "make"
  6. Type "make install" (may require special permission). This will install the perl extension into the perl lib directory (typically, /usr/local/lib/perl5)
  7. Try one of the example scripts.

Notes

HPUX users will need to compile the extension statically into the Perl binary. See the ARSperl FAQ section for details.
