PERL-PVM
--------
This is a perl extension for the parallel virtual machine
(PVM) message-passing system. Before you begin installation
you must have already installed PVM (the most recent version of
PVM may be found at
http://www.epm.ornl.gov/pvm).
You must also set the environment variables
setenv PVM_ROOT <pvm root directory>
setenv PVM_ARCH `$PVM_ROOT/lib/pvmgetarch`
Remember to give yourself write permission to the PVM_ROOT
directory in order to install PERL-PVM.
For a correct installation you will also need perl5.002
or greater.
Once all the preliminaries have been done, the installation
sequence is as follows:
tar xvf Pvm-1.0.tar
cd Pvm-1.0
Have a look into Makefile.PL to see if you have to make any
changes. Afterwhich do
perl5 Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
Please read the man page, ie.
perldoc Parallel::Pvm
Any questions, critisims or suggestions are welcome.
