File::SortedSeek version 0.01 ======================= NAME File::SortedSeek - A Perl module providing fast data access to very large files INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install If you insist on doing a cut an paste install you will need to install the following file in a location like this: usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/File/SortedSeek.pm On Win32 you will probably need to substitute something like C:\Perl\site\lib\ for usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/ Before installing any perl module on Win32 I recommend deactivating Norton Antivirus which conflicts with a lot of stuff, not just Perl and MakeMaker. If your system hangs when you try to install modules this is a probable cause. Then just: perl Makefile.PL nmake nmake test nmake install You can get a copy of nmake.exe from Microsoft at DEPENDENCIES Nothing outside standard distribution.
