This directory contains perl modules from cpan for use with the Greenstone
collection building code. After a "make install" these modules will be
installed to the gsdl/perllib/cpan directory.

Note that pure perl modules (i.e. those not containing any C code to
compile) don't need building so they don't live in the packages directory
tree (they live in perllib/cpan).


The following modules are currently included:

 - Version 2.34

  Originally, we used Version 2.27 cut down a bit for size, plus
  a few modifications to Makefile.PL.  See below.


HISTORY
-------

Mar 2005

XML::Parser

 - Version 2.34 and version 2.27
added MAKEFILE_OLD => 'Makefile' to the Makefile.PL WriteMakeFile directive.
previously, doing a make clean renamed the Makefile to Makefile.old, so then
a make wouldn't work. Now Makefile gets renamed to Makefile. Hopefully this
won't stuff anything else up.

- Version 2.27 - as downloaded from cpan.org but with a few files removed
  (to minimize the size of the tarball we distribute) and minor Greenstone
  specific modifications to Makefile.PL. Originally used version 2.29 but
  it appeared to be incompatible with perl 5.6.1.
