7INSTALLATION

9This module will build in the usual way :
10
11 perl Makefile.PL
12 make
13 make test
14 make install
15
16This last step may need to be done as a user with permission to write into
17the Perl library directories - if you are not able to do this you may run
18the first step with:
19
20 perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/some/directory/you/can/write/to
21
22And then run the rest of the procedure as usual - you will need to add
23that path to @INC as described in the FAQ or in the manpage for the 'lib'
24pragma.
25
26As of the 1.04 release the original test.pl has been moved to the examples
27directory as it wasn't really appropriate for a unit test. You can of
28course still run it to check this behaves as expected on your platform.

31DEPENDENCIES
32
33This module depends on version 1.01 or greater of Term::Cap - whilst this
34module has been in the core Perl distribution for some years it had
35previously required a patch - 1.01 is available as part of the 5.7.2
36development release (not intended for general release) and will be in
375.8.0 - it is hoped that 1.02 will be released to CPAN for those who
38dont want to upgrade their version of Perl just now.

40TO DO
41
42Make a terminfo version of this so better function key support would be
43built in.
44
45Make an MS-DOS version and a MAC version and an OS/2 version and a VMS
46version, and ... so we can stop seeing "how can I read one char questions"
