L I B W W W - P E R L - 6 ----------------------------- The libwww-perl collection is a set of Perl modules which provides a simple and consistent application programming interface to the World-Wide Web. The main focus of the library is to provide classes and functions that allow you to write WWW clients. The library also contain modules that are of more general use and even classes that help you implement simple HTTP servers. PREREQUISITES In order to install and use this package you will need Perl version 5.8.1 or better. Some modules within this package depend on other packages that are distributed separately from Perl. We recommend that you have the following packages installed before you install libwww-perl: Digest-MD5 Encode-Locale HTML-Form HTML-Parser HTML-Tagset HTTP-Cookies HTTP-Date HTTP-Message HTTP-Negotiate libnet LWP-MediaTypes MIME-Base64 Net-HTTP URI WWW-RobotRules If you want to access sites using the https protocol, then you need to install the LWP::Protocol::https module from CPAN. INSTALLATION You install libwww-perl using the normal perl module distribution drill: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install If you don't want to install any programs (only the library files) then pass the '--no-programs' option to Makefile.PL: perl Makefile.PL --no-programs DOCUMENTATION See the lib/LWP.pm file for an overview of the library. See the Changes file for recent changes. POD style documentation is included in all modules and scripts. These are normally converted to manual pages and installed as part of the "make install" process. You should also be able to use the 'perldoc' utility to extract and read documentation from the module files directly. SUPPORT Bug reports and suggestions for improvements can be sent to the <libwww@perl.org> mailing list. This mailing list is also the place for general discussions and development of the libwww-perl package.
