| 2 | - Get libwww-perl from CPAN
|
|---|
| 3 | (http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-module/WWW/). W3mir does not work
|
|---|
| 4 | with LWP 5.40 and later versions. Please get an earlier version.
|
|---|
| 5 | It also does not work with the new URI package. Use the URI package
|
|---|
| 6 | enclosed in the older LWP.
|
|---|
| 7 |
|
|---|
| 8 | - Unpack it:
|
|---|
| 9 |
|
|---|
| 10 | gzip -dc libwww-perl-*.tar.gz | tar xvBf -
|
|---|
| 11 |
|
|---|
| 12 | - Install it. W3mir does not require the whole libwww-perl package and
|
|---|
| 13 | all the packages that goes with it to work so you may follow these
|
|---|
| 14 | install instructions instead of the libwww-perl install instructions
|
|---|
| 15 | to get an easier install which will work with w3mir.
|
|---|
| 16 |
|
|---|
| 17 | cd libwww-perl-*
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | Are you going to install it in the standard perl place (you need to
|
|---|
| 20 | be the system administrator to do this)? If so:
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | perl Makefile.PL
|
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 | If not (if you are a user):
|
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/some/dir
|
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 | /some/dir could be ~ (as in your home directory).
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | IF you are installing an old LWP just for w3mir you can install both
|
|---|
| 31 | the old LWP, the Base64 module and w3mir in a special PREFIX
|
|---|
| 32 | separate from your usual install PREFIX. This ensures that w3mir will
|
|---|
| 33 | access the older version of LWP and that other software will access
|
|---|
| 34 | the newer version. If you do this make sure you install all of LWP,
|
|---|
| 35 | Base64 and w3mir with the same PREFIX.
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | This step might produce some complaints; A standard perl
|
|---|
| 38 | installation will typically get messages about missing these
|
|---|
| 39 | modules: IO::Socket, NET::FTP and MD5. None of these need be
|
|---|
| 40 | installed to run w3mir and so any error messages about these may
|
|---|
| 41 | safely be ignored.
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 | make
|
|---|
| 44 | make test (robot/ua and local/http might fail, that's OK)
|
|---|
| 45 | make install
|
|---|
| 46 |
|
|---|
| 47 | Now libwww-perl should be installed and working.
