libplot-perl libplot-perl is copyrighted by John Lapeyre This program may be distributed only under the terms of the Gnu General Public License or the perl Artistic License. This is a perl module which allows the libplot plotting routines to be called from the perl scripting language. libplot currently takes relatively primitive graphics commands. Several output formats, including xfig, postscript and an X11 driver are available. (All the drivers in libplot seem to work.) In order to build this package, you need the libplot library to be built and installed. It is part of the plotutils package, available wherever fine FSF products are sold. http://www.gnu.org/software/plotutils/plotutils.html You need the plot.h header file as well as the shared library. On some systems, the module will build with perl Makefile.PL make make test make install This has been tested under Debian Gnu/Linux and on a DEC Alpha running Digital Unix. In the source tree is a directory, "examples" with a readme and some sample scripts. John Lapeyre
