PERL

We are installing PERL modules directly into the PERL system location. Normally PERL modiles will be obtained from [1] in a form of tar files and placed in /usr/local/downloads. For every platform they must be copied to /usr/local/src, untared and installed. Following modules must be installed:

Pezca
Tk
DBI
DBD::mysql
Time
URI
HTML::Tagset
HTML::Parser
IO-Compress-Base
Compress-Raw-Zlib (see note below)
Compress-Raw-Bzip2
IO-Compress-Bzip2
IO-Compress-Zlib
Compress-Zlib
LWP (libwww-perl) (use default options when asked)

For installation instructions see README inside those packages. Usually you have to type:

perl Makefile.PL
gmake
gmake test (optionally)
gmake install

Following was noticed:

• Pezca: After running 'perl Makefile.PL' and before 'gmake', modify 'Makefile': after '-Iinclude', add '-Iinclude/os/solaris -Iinclude/O.solaris' (adjust for OS; do not know why it did not happened during 'perl Makefile.PL' ...). Also, module 'osdTime.cc' must be compiled by 'CC', not by 'cc' as it is happening (just go to 'libCom/os/generic', type 'gmake', copy last failed command, replace 'cc' by 'CC' and execute).

• DBI:

clon01:DBI-1.52> perl Makefile.PL
*** Note:
   The optional PlRPC-modules (RPC::PlServer etc) are not installed.
   If you want to use the DBD::Proxy driver and DBI::ProxyServer
   modules, then you'll need to install the RPC::PlServer, RPC::PlClient,
   Storable and Net::Daemon modules. The CPAN Bundle::DBI may help you.
   You can install them any time after installing the DBI.
   You do *not* need these modules for typical DBI usage.
Optional modules are available from any CPAN mirror, in particular

• Compress-Raw-Zlib:

sed -e "s|BUILD_ZLIB\s*= True|BUILD_ZLIB = False|" -e "s|INCLUDE\s*= ./zlib-src|INCLUDE = /usr/include|" -e "s|LIB\s*= ./zlib-src|LIB = /usr/lib|" config.in
