DESCRIPTION
-----------
This distribution consists of a number of Source Filters.
For more details see the pod documentation embedded in the .pm files.
If you intend using the Filter::Call functionality, I would strongly
recommend that you check out Damian Conway's excellent Filter::Simple
module. Damian's module provides a much cleaner interface than
Filter::Util::Call. Although it doesn't allow the fine control that
Filter::Util::Call does, it should be adequate for the majority of
applications. It's available at
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Filter-Simple/
PREREQUISITES
-------------
Before you can build the Source Filters you need to have the following
installed on your system:
* Perl 5.005 or better. 5.6.0 or better is recommended for Win32.
If your Perl is less than version 5.004_55, the "order" test harness
will be skipped.
BUILDING THE MODULES
--------------------
Assuming you have met all the prerequisites, building the modules
should be relatively straightforward.
The modules can now be built using this sequence of commands:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
The filters have been successfully built and tested on the following
systems (at least):
SunOS 4.1.3 (Sun C compiler & gcc 2.7.2.3)
Solaris 2.3 (Sun C Compiler)
irix 5.3
irix 6.x
Windows NT 4.0 (Visual C++ 5.0 and Borland C++ 5.02)
GNU tr and GNU cpp must be installed somewhere on the path for the
testsuite to pass successfully on Windows NT.
INSTALLATION
------------
make install
UPDATES
