| 22 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 23 | ----------- | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | ||
| 26 | This module is a base class for all IO::Compress and IO::Uncompress | |
| 27 | modules. | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | ||
| 30 | ||
| 31 | ||
| 32 | ||
| 33 | PREREQUISITES | |
| 34 | ------------- | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | Before you can build IO::Compress::Base you need to have the following | |
| 37 | installed on your system: | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | ||
| 40 | * Perl 5.004 or better. | |
| 41 | ||
| 42 | ||
| 43 | ||
| 44 | ||
| 45 | ||
| 46 | BUILDING THE MODULE | |
| 47 | ------------------- | |
| 48 | ||
| 49 | Assuming you have met all the prerequisites, the module can now be built | |
| 50 | using this sequence of commands: | |
| 51 | ||
| 52 | perl Makefile.PL | |
| 53 | make | |
| 54 | make test | |
| 55 | ||
| 56 | ||
| 57 | ||
| 58 | INSTALLATION | |
| 59 | ------------ | |
| 60 | ||
| 61 | To install IO::Compress::Base, run the command below: | |

| 83 | FEEDBACK | |
| 84 | -------- | |
| 85 | ||
| 86 | How to report a problem with IO::Compress::Base. | |
| 87 | ||
| 88 | To help me help you, I need all of the following information: | |
| 89 | ||
| 90 | 1. The Versions of everything relevant. | |
| 91 | This includes: | |
| 92 | ||
| 93 | a. The *complete* output from running this | |
| 94 | ||
| 95 | perl -V | |
| 96 | ||
| 97 | Do not edit the output in any way. | |
| 98 | Note, I want you to run "perl -V" and NOT "perl -v". | |
| 99 | ||
| 100 | If your perl does not understand the "-V" option it is too | |
| 101 | old. This module needs Perl version 5.004 or better. | |
| 102 | ||
| 103 | b. The version of IO::Compress::Base you have. | |
| 104 | If you have successfully installed IO::Compress::Base, this one-liner | |
| 105 | will tell you: | |
| 106 | ||
| 107 | perl -MIO::Compress::Base -e 'print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Base::VERSION\n]' | |
| 108 | ||
| 109 | If you areplete* output from running this | |
| 110 | ||
| 111 | perl -V | |
| 112 | ||
| 113 | Do not edit the output in any way. | |
| 114 | Note, I want you to run "perl -V" and NOT "perl -v". | |
| 115 | ||
| 116 | If your perl does not understand the "-V" option it is too | |
| 117 | old. This module needs Perl version 5.004 or better. | |
| 118 | ||
| 119 | b. The version of IO::Compress::Base you have. | |
| 120 | If you have successfully installed IO::Compress::Base, this one-liner | |
| 121 | will tell you: | |
| 122 | ||
| 123 | perl -MIO::Compress::Base -e 'print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Base::VERSION\n]' | |
| 124 | ||
| 125 | If you are running windows use this | |
| 126 | ||
| 127 | perl -MIO::Compress::Base -e "print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Base::VERSION\n]" | |
| 128 | ||
| 129 | If you haven't installed IO::Compress::Base then search IO::Compress::Base.pm | |
| 130 | for a line like this: | |
| 131 | ||
| 132 | $VERSION = "1.05" ; | |
| 133 | ||
| 134 | ||
| 135 | ||
| 136 | 2. If you are having problems building IO::Compress::Base, send me a | |
| 137 | complete log of what happened. Start by unpacking the IO::Compress::Base | |
| 138 | module into a fresh directory and keep a log of all the steps | |
| 139 | ||
| 140 | [edit config.in, if necessary] | |
| 141 | perl Makefile.PL | |
| 142 | make | |
| 143 | make test TEST_VERBOSE=1 | |
