                                        Time-stamp: "2004-03-30 16:02:27 AST"

			   Locale::Maketext

Locale::Maketext is a base class providing a framework for

localization and inheritance-based lexicons, as described in my

article in The Perl Journal #13 (a corrected version of which appears

in this dist).

PREREQUISITES

This suite requires Perl 5.  It also requires a recent version

of I18N::LangTags.  MSWin users should also get Win32::Locale.

File::Findgrep is also useful example code, as is the rather

larger Apache::MP3 source (even if you don't run Apache).

INSTALLATION

You install Locale::Maketext, as you would install any Perl module

distribution, by running these commands:

   perl Makefile.PL

   make

   make test

   make install

If you want to install a private copy of Maketext in your home directory,

then you should try to produce the initial Makefile with something

like this command:

  perl Makefile.PL LIB=~/perl

See perldoc perlmodinstall for more information.

DOCUMENTATION

See the pod in Locale::Maketext and Locale::Maketext::TPJ13,

and see also File::Findgrep.

SUPPORT

Questions, bug reports, useful code bits, and suggestions for

Worms should be sent to me at sburke@cpan.org

AVAILABILITY

The latest version of Locale::Maketext is available from the

Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN).  Visit

<http://www.perl.com/CPAN/> to find a CPAN site near you.
