d50cb536 1Welcome to the Sprite sample application for Larry Wall's JPL. This
2application showcases a merging of Java and Perl in which Java is employed
3to generate a user interface, and Perl is used for data access.
4Specifically, Perl is used with Shishir Gundavaram's Sprite module to offer
5permanent storage through SQL manipulation of text files. This application
6is a Rolodex(tm)-style address file, offering the ability to add, edit or
7delete names and addresses. You may also navigate through the address list.

9To use this example, you will need to install the Sprite module from CPAN.

11To install the sample, you must first have JPL installed and working.
12Please ensure that you have set environment variables as directed in the
13JPL README and that the JPL Sample program works. Once this has been
14accomplished, you can build the files in this directory with the following
15commmands:
16
17 perl Makefile.PL
18 make
19 make install
20
21You can run this by typing:
22
23 java JPL_Rolo
24
25The application should appear with some sample data, and you can mess
26around with it and put all your friends in the address book. Far out!
