Hi,
this the Perl emulation module for the C stdio library scanf().
Perl 5 is required.
The documentation is in pod format (see perlpod), you can
view it by for example
pod2man scanf.pm | nroff -man | more
Note that the pod cocumentation should be quite readable "as is".
I hope you enjoy this little hack. If you find any bugs
please do not hesitate to tell me. If you feel like sending
me presents please do not hesitate to bribe me.
The Makefile.PL can be used like this:
perl Makefile.PL
If all is well (your Perl is installed ok), Makefile is
created. Then you can test whether the scanf emulation
works ok:
make test
You can install the module with
make install
This attempts to install to where the command 'perl' would
like to see its library files. If you want/need to install
somewhere else, rebuild the Makefile with
perl Makefile.PL INST_LIB=/some/where/else
After this you can attempt the
make install
and the scanf.pm should end up in /some/where/else.
