INSTALLATION
CONFIGURE
-Normally when perl Makefile.PL is run it will run Configure which will ask some
-questions about your system. The results of these questions will be stored in
-the Net::Config package. If you are on a system when this script cannot be run
-for some reason then the file Config.eg can be edited manually and installed
-as Net::Config (Net/Comfig.pm)
+Normally when perl Makefile.PL is run it will run Configure which will
+ask some questions about your system. The results of these questions
+will be stored in a file called libnet.cfg which will be installed
+alongside the other perl modules in this distribution. The Makefile.PL
+will run Configure in an interactive mode unless these exists a file
+called libnet.cfg in the build directory.
+
+If you are on a system which cannot run this script you can create an
+empty file to make Makefile.PL skip running Configure. If you want to
+keep your existing settings and not run interactivly the simple run
+
+ Configure -d
+
+before running the Makefile.PL.
