Sprite v3.1 Installation ------------------------ If you have access to the Perl library, then you can go ahead and install Sprite in the same way as you would any other module: % mv Sprite-3.1.tar.gz /usr/local/perl5.002/ext % cd /usr/local/perl5.002/ext % gzip -d Sprite-3.1.tar.gz % tar -xvf Sprite-3.1.tar % cd Sprite-3.1 % perl Makefile.PL % make % make install Remember, you need Perl v5.002 or above for Sprite to work correctly! If you _dont_ have access to the Perl library, then you can simply copy the file Sprite.pm from the distribution to any directory you choose and then add the following to the top of your script (assuming you copied to /home/shishir/lib): #!/usr/local/bin/perl5.002 BEGIN { unshift (@INC, "/home/shishir/lib"); } use Sprite; That's it! I included one simple example with this distribution. If you want more examples, check out Examples.tar.gz located at: ftp://ftp.ora.com/pub/examples/nutshell/cgi
