README for DelimMatch version 1.01, 02 July 1997
DelimMatch allows you to match delimited substrings in a buffer.
The delimiters can be specified with any regular expression and
the start and end delimiters need not be the same. If the
delimited text is properly nested, entire nested groups are
returned.
In addition, you may specify quoting and escaping characters that
contribute to the recognition of start and end delimiters.
For more detail, see the POD documentation in DelimMatch.pm

PREREQUISITES
DelimMatch is implemented as an object. It has no requirements
beyond Perl 5.000.
INSTALLATION
This module is written entirely in Perl. There's nothing to build,
and installation should be as simple as
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
To install this module by hand, as is required for Win32 Perl 5.003,
simply copy DelimMatch.pm to the \perl\lib\Text directory. Test
by running perl test.pl.
