1This is the perl5 IO distribution. 2 3This distribution is included in the perl5 core distribution. You should 4only need to install this distribution if it is newer than your perl 5installation. 6 7To install this distribution you will need access rights to the perl 8installation on your system, as it overwrites your currently installed 9version of IO. 10 11This distribution relies upon the Socket module (version 1.3), which is 12available from CPAN. Although you should not need to get this if your 13version of perl is fairly recent, as Socket is also distributed in the 14core perl distribution. 15 16If you do not have the required modules, you will see a warning when 17the Makefile is built. 18 19To build, test and install this distribution type: 20 21 perl Makefile.PL 22 make test 23 make install 24 25Share and Enjoy! 26Graham Barr <gbarr@pobox.com> 27
