<para>The <application>Perl</application> module packages add useful
|
|
objects to the <application>Perl</application> language. Modules utilized
|
|
by packages throughout BLFS are listed here, along with their dependencies.
|
|
Installation of the modules shown on this page should be accomplished by
|
|
installing the listed dependencies (from the bottom and working up to the
|
|
top) and then the desired module. Most references to
|
|
<application>Perl</application> modules are in the form of Module,
|
|
Module::SubName or Module::Sub::Name, though sometimes you'll see Module,
|
|
Module-SubName or Module-Sub-Name. The references on this page that reflect
|
|
an external URL are in the latter form, as these are the official package
|
|
names.</para>

module and perhaps also the module being installed. Dependencies such as

|
this are only listed once in the dependency chain for each main module
|

(typically near the bottom-most dependency) to avoid redundancy and

additional clutter in the instructions.</para>

<para>Finance::Quote is used to get stock quotes from various Internet

functional interface that is depreciated, and an object-orientated method
|
|
that provides greater flexibility and stability. With the exception of
|
|
straight currency exchange rates, all information is returned as a
|
|
two-dimensional hash (or a reference to such a hash, if called in a scalar
|
|
context).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>After you've installed the package, issue
|
|
<command>perldoc Finance::Quote</command> for full information.
|
|
Alternatively, you can issue <command>perldoc lib/Finance/Quote.pm</command>
|
|
after unpacking the distribution tarball and changing into the top-level
|
|
directory. The module and dependencies are installed using the
|
|
standard <application>Perl</application> module
|
|
<xref linkend="perl-standard-install"/>.</para>

|

<para>To run the regression test suite, you'll need a working Internet

command after unpacking the tarball and changing into the root directory

<para>The Module::Info module is quite useful for tasks other than just
|

support of other modules. It can be used from the command-line to tell you
|

if a particular module is included in, or has been installed into your
|
|
<application>Perl</application> installation. Additionally, Module::Info
|
|
can tell you what version of a module is installed and what dependencies
|
|
are required for it. You can even use Module::Info to gather dependencies
|
|
of uninstalled modules. The Module::Info module and dependencies install
|

using the standard <application>Perl</application> module

<para>The Module::Signature module is used to check and create

<filename>SIGNATURE</filename> files for CPAN distributions. After

installing Module::Signature you can verify the content of a distribution

tarball (if it includes a <filename>SIGNATURE</filename> file) by unpacking
|
|
the tarball, changing into the newly created directory and issuing the
|
|
command <command>cpansign -v</command>. It will check each file's
|
|
integrity, as well as the signature's validity. Note that some of the

|
dependencies appear to be circular, however, they are only run-time
|
|
conflicts and you should be able to fully utilize them as long as

everything is installed. Module::Signature and the dependency modules are

This module implements the URI class. Objects of this class represent

"Uniform Resource Identifier references" as specified in RFC 2396 (and

|
updated by RFC 2732). A Uniform Resource Identifier is a compact string of
|
|
characters that identifies an abstract or physical resource. A Uniform
|
|
Resource Identifier can be further classified as either a Uniform Resource
|
|
Locator (URL) or a Uniform Resource Name (URN). The distinction between
|
|
URL and URN does not matter to the URI class interface. A "URI-reference"
|
|
is a URI that may have additional information attached in the form of a
|
|
fragment identifier.
