ParaTools 1.00 Documentation - Required Software |
The ParaTools::Utils module provides functions to retrieve and convert files both on the Internet and on a local file-system. The former requires a few extra Perl modules to function:
There are also some dependencies for the above modules, including MIME::Base64, HTML::TagSet, and Digest::MD5.
All of the above are available at http://paracite.eprints.org/files/perlmods/. Although these are not guaranteed to be the most recent versions, they are the versions that ParaTools has been tested with. For the most recent releases, the Perl modules can also be found at http://www.cpan.org.
This describes the way to install a simple perl module, some require a bit more effort. We will use the non-existent FOO module as an example.
% gunzip FOO-5.23.tar.gz % tar xf FOO-5.23.tar
% cd FOO-5.23
% perl Build.PL % ./Build % ./Build test % ./Build install
These programs are used by the Biblio::DocParser::Utils module to convert documents to ASCII from other formats. If you would like to add other formats, see the HOWTO later in this manual.
