RFC's -can be found a various places on the WEB, for a starting -point look at: - - http://www.yahoo.com/Computers_and_Internet/Standards/RFCs/ - -The RFC implemented in this distribution are - -Net::FTP RFC959 File Transfer Protocol -Net::SMTP RFC821 Simple Mail Transfer Protocol -Net::Time RFC867 Daytime Protocol -Net::Time RFC868 Time Protocol -Net::NNTP RFC977 Network News Transfer Protocol -Net::POP3 RFC1939 Post Office Protocol 3 - -AVAILABILITY - -The latest version of libnet is available from the Comprehensive Perl -Archive Network (CPAN). To find a CPAN site near you see: - - http://search.cpan.org/~gbarr/libnet/ - -The subversion source repository can be browsed at - - http://svn.goingon.net/viewvc/libnet/ - -If you have a subversion client, then you can checkout the latest code with - - svn co http://svn.goingon.net/repos/libnet/trunk libnet - -INSTALLATION - -In order to use this package you will need Perl version 5.002 or -better. You install libnet, as you would install any perl module -library, by running these commands: - - perl Makefile.PL - make - make test - make install - -If you want to install a private copy of libnet in your home -directory, then you should try to produce the initial Makefile with -something like this command: - - perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/perl - - -The Makefile.PL program will start out by checking your perl -installation for a few packages that are recommended to be installed -together with libnet. These packages should be available on CPAN -(described above). - -CONFIGURE - -Normally when perl Makefile.PL is run it will run Configure which will -ask some questions about your system. The results of these questions -will be stored in a file called libnet.cfg which will be installed -alongside the other perl modules in this distribution. The Makefile.PL -will run Configure in an interactive mode unless these exists a file -called libnet.cfg in the build directory. - -If you are on a system which cannot run this script you can create an -empty file to make Makefile.PL skip running Configure. If you want to -keep your existing settings and not run interactivly the simple run - - Configure -d - -before running the Makefile.PL. - -DOCUMENTATION - -See ChangeLog for recent changes. POD style documentation is included -in all modules and scripts. These are normally converted to manual -pages and installed as part of the "make install" process. You should -also be able to use the 'perldoc' utility to extract documentation from -the module files directly. - -DEMOS - -The demos directory does contain a few demo scripts. These should be -run from the top directory like - - demos/smtp.self -user my-email-address -debug - -However I do not guarantee these scripts to work. - -SUPPORT - -Questions about how to use this library should be directed to the -comp.lang.perl.modules USENET Newsgroup. Bug reports and suggestions -for improvements can be sent to me at <gbarr@pobox.com>. - -Most of the modules in this library have an option to output a debug -transcript to STDERR. When reporting bugs/problems please, if possible, -include a transcript of a run. - -COPYRIGHT - - (C) 1996-2007 Graham Barr.
