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.
