Manual

Portable Presenter is a package designed to give presentations. PPresenter is brought to you under a GNU licence, what makes it free to be used and extended.

To install this software, you require the latest versions of Perl and Perl/Tk. I myself run Perl5.005_02 and Tk800.012, which is stable. Both are available from CPAN.

You may need the following packages (also available from CPAN):

X11::Protocol, (optional)
If you want to use scalable X-fonts (yes, you want to)
Used by module PPresenter::Fontset::XScaling.

Image::Magick, (optional)
If you really want to be flexible on your use of images, you should consider installing ImageMagick on you system. Required if you like to export you show to PostScript, images, or web-pages.

Read the information on their home-page on how to install the ImageMagick library and PerlMagick (both required).
