1Term::Screen version 1.06 2========================= 3 4This module provides a simple interface to the terminal control features 5for character mode terminals. 6 7INSTALLATION 8 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. 29 30 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. 39 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" 47 48SUPPORT 49 50Please contact the current maintainer of this module to report any bugs 51or suggest changes to this module. 52 53 Jonathan Stowe <jns@gellyfish.co.uk> 54 55The working source is maintained at: 56 57 https://github.com/jonathanstowe/Term-Screen 58 59Please feel free to fork, send pull requests and issues. 60 61COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE 62 63Copyright (c) Mark Kaehny 1996 64 Jonathan Stowe 2001, 2005 65 Jonathan Stowe and others 2015 66 67 68This is free software it can be modified and distributed under the same 69terms as Perl itself - see the README file in the Perl Distribution for 70more information. 71 72Mark Kaehny 73kaehny@execpc.com 74
