README_PERL

Special description for the Perl version of `groffer'

The files related to the Perl version are

perl/groffer.pl	  perl main source file for groffer
perl/func.pl	  selection of functions needed for groffer.pl
perl/man.pl	  selection of man functions needed for groffer.pl
perl/split_env.sh shell script called from groffer.pl to split a variable
perl/groffer.man  manual file rewritten for the perl version of groffer
perl/README_PERL  this file
perl_test.pl	  test whether perl has a suitable version
version.sh	  information on version number and last update


Compatibility

This is the Perl version of groffer.  It was written under Perl v5.8.8
and needs an installed Perl version of at least version 5.6.1.

It was written in Linux, but it seems to be independent of the
operating system.  At least no directory slashes are used.

For testing, `groffer.pl' may be used directly without a Makefile.  By
`make' this file will be transformed into the file `groffer' that will
be installed.

The following options were removed compared to the shell version of
groffer:

--shell --debug-func --debug-not_func --debug-lm --debug-shell
--debug-stacks --debug-user

They can be used, but they are just ignored.

Otherwise, the Perl version has the same functionality as the shell
version.


Temporary files

The Perl version keeps more files for debug mode than the shell
version.  The `file' and `so' temporaries are numbered and the files
with .so request are copied.  All .so requests are handled; this is an
extension to `man' that deals only with the first .so request.
