IO::Pager version 0.05
=====================

IO::Pager - Select a pager, optionally pipe it output if destination is a TTY


IO::Pager is lightweight and can be used to locate an available pager
and set $ENV{PAGER} sanely or as a factory for creating objects defined
elsewhere such as IO::Pager::Buffered and IO::Pager::Unbuffered.

IO::Pager subclasses are designed to programmatically decide whether
or not to pipe a filehandle's output to a program specified in $ENV{PAGER}.
Subclasses are only required to support filehandle output methods and close,
namely


INSTALLATION

To install this module type the following:

   perl Makefile.PL
   make
   make test
   perl -Mblib t.pl #Helas the real tests don't work well under Test::*
   make install

DEPENDENCIES

File::Spec  this is a core module.
File::Which is not required bu *strongly* recommended.

PORTABLE

This is intended to be as portable as possible, I myself have tested
it on Solaris 9 and Windows 98. IO::Pager::Unbuffered does not appear
to work happily with Windows 98, it'll never return control and acts
more like IO::Pager::Page;
