35a60386 1This is the perl5 IO distribution.
2
3This distribution is included in the perl5 core distribution. You should
4only need to install this distribution if it is newer than your perl
5installation.
6
7To install this distribution you will need access rights to the perl
8install ation on your system, as it overwrites your currently installed
9version of IO.
10
11This distribution relies upon the Socket module (version 1.3), which is
12avaliable from CPAN. Although you should not need to get this if your
13version of perl is fairly recent, as Socket is also distributed in the
14core perl distribution.
15
16If you do not have the required modules, you will see a warning when
17the Makefile is built.

19To build, test and install this distribution type:

23 make install
