1.0 SCOPE
   This paragraph identifies and provides an overview of the released
   files.

 1.1 Identification
   This release, identified in 3.2, is a collection of Perl modules that
   extend the capabilities of the Perl language.

 1.2 System overview
   This release adds United States Department of Defense (US DOD) Perl
   Plain Old Documentation (POD) derived from software related documents
   release by the US DOD to the general public.

   These documents and the terminology used in these documents govern much
   of the Software Development including design, test, distribution,
   release, installation and use of software.

   One area of praticular interest is development software that automates
   development tasks freeing up designers, technicians and other personell
   to concentrate on key development tasks.

   Toward this end, two starting modules that make heavy references to the
   these 2167A documents are the following modules:

   Test::STDmaker
       Generates 2167A STD DID, demonstration script, and test script from
       a STD text database in a format consistent with
       DataPort::FileType::FormDB.

   ExtUtils::SVDmaker
       Generates 2167A SVD DID, MakeFile.PL, README, MANIFEST, updates file
       versions and creates .tar.gz distribution file from a SVD text
       database in a format consistent with DataPort::FileType::FormDB.

       The dependency of the program modules in the US DOD STD2167A bundle
       is as follows:

        File::Package File::SmartNL File::TestPath Text::Scrub

            Test::Tech

               DataPort::FileType::FormDB DataPort::DataFile DataPort::Maker
               File::AnySpec File::Data File::PM2File File::SubPM Text::Replace
               Text::Column

                   Test::STDmaker ExtUtils::SVDmaker

 1.3 Document overview.
   This document releases Docs-US_DOD-STD2167A version 0.06 and provides a
   description of the inventory, installation instructions and other
   information necessary to utilize and track this release.

3.0 VERSION DESCRIPTION

 3.3 Changes
   Changes are as follows:

   Docs::US_DOD::STD2167A 0.03
       Version 0.02 loaded test file t/Docs/US_DOD/STD2167A.t but specified
       test file t/docs/US_DOD/STD2167A.t. Works on case insensitive file
       specs OS such as MsDOS but fails on case sensitive file specs OS
       such as Unix

       Changed the test file

       From:

        t/docs/US_DOD/STD2167A.t

       To:

        t/Docs/US_DOD/STD2167A.t

   Docs::US_DOD::STD2167A 0.04 =item Docs::US_DOD::STD2167A 0.05
       Another case insensitive issue. The STrP has one lower case letter.
       Make changes so everything should match the case. Unix file
       specifications are case sensitive while Microsoft's are not.

   Docs::US_DOD::STD2167A 0.06
       Deleted SRR and SDR which since they are review, have not document.

       Supplied contents for the following

        VDD.pm
        CRISD.pm
        CSOM.pm
        IDD.pm

 3.4 Adaptation data.
   This installation requires that the installation site has the Perl
   programming language installed. There are no other additional
   requirements or tailoring needed of configurations files, adaptation
   data or other software needed for this installation particular to any
   installation site.

 3.5 Related documents.
   There are no related documents needed for the installation and test of
   this release.

 3.6 Installation instructions.
   Instructions for installation, installation tests and installation
   support are as follows:

        http://packages.SoftwareDiamonds.com

       Follow the instructions for the the chosen installation software.

       The distribution file is at the following respositories:

          http://www.softwarediamonds/packages/Docs-US_DOD-STD2167A-0.06
          http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/authors/id/S/SO/SOFTDIA/Docs-US_DOD-STD2167A-0.06

   Prerequistes.
        'File::Package' => '0',

   Security, privacy, or safety precautions.
       None.

   Installation Tests.
       Most Perl installation software will run the following test
       script(s) as part of the installation:

        t/Docs/US_DOD/STD2167A.t

   Installation support.
       If there are installation problems or questions with the
       installation contact

 3.7 Possible problems and known errors
   None of the PODs contain any of the figures from the hard-copy versions.
   The following PODs do not contain any documents and an empty POD is
   included only to resolve links when the converted documents converted to
   PODs cites documents not converted to PODs:

    CDRL.pod
    CSCI.pod
    ECP.pod
    HWCI.pod
    SCN.pod
    SPM.pod
    SSD.pod

   For Perl module releases, these documents may not be applicable. Many of
   them are for large software applications and complex systems involving
   both hardware and software while others establish format, legally
   binding, contractual requirements between the supplier and consumer of
   the data. Neither of these apply for this document.
