NAME Pgreet - Perl modules to support the ecard application: Penguin Greetings. DESCRIPTION The Perl modules: Pgreet (Pgreet.pm,) Pgreet::Config (Pgreet/Config.pm,) Pgreet::Error (Pgreet/Error.pm,) Pgreet::CGIUtils (Pgreet/CGIUtils.pm,) Pgreet:DaemonUtils (Pgreet/DaemonUtils.pm,) Pgreet::ExecEmbperl (Pgreet/ExecEmbperl.pm,) and Pgreet::ExecMason (Pgreet/ExecMason.pm) provide shared functionality for the application of the Penguin Greetings ecard application. Also included in this distribution are the files associated with Pgreet::I18N (Pgreet/I18N/*.pm) which provide localization for most of the Penguin Greetings secondary ecard sites via the Perl module: Locale::Maketext. None of this modules are intended to be used by other applications in general. You can learn more about Penguin Greetings (pgreet) at its SourceForge site: http://pgreet.sourceforge.net/ POD module documentation is provided for those who might wish either to work on Penguin Greetings or adapt these modules to some other purpose. PREREQUISITES This module requires the following Perl modules to be installed in addition to those included in Perl 5.8.x: Apache::Htpasswd, Config::General, Date::Pcalc, Digest::MD5, Embperl, I18N::AcceptLanguage, Log::Dispatch, MIME::Lite, String::Checker. These are required in order to attempting installing the module at all. There are two other modules that may be needed depending on your application: Locale::Maketext and HTML::Mason. The Locale::Maketext is used in all but one of the bilingual Penguin Greetings sites, and HTML::Mason is needed for any Penguin Greetings sites that use Mason instead of Embperl, such as the PgSeattle site. If you wish to use the test suite to confirm functionality of Pgreet module with these two CPAN modules, you will need to install them before running the test suite. Otherwise the test suite will skip those tests. INSTALLATION Installing these modules to support Penguin Greetings follows standard Perl conventions. One can install the library by running the following commands: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install The "make install" command must be run as superuser (root.)
