[p5sagit/Try-Tiny.git] / INSTALL

This is the Perl distribution Try-Tiny.

Installing Try-Tiny is straightforward.

## Installation with cpanm

If you have cpanm, you only need one line:

    % cpanm Try::Tiny

If it does not have permission to install modules to the current perl, cpanm
will automatically set up and install to a local::lib in your home directory.
See the local::lib documentation (https://metacpan.org/pod/local::lib) for
details on enabling it in your environment.

## Installing with the CPAN shell

Alternatively, if your CPAN shell is set up, you should just be able to do:

    % cpan Try::Tiny

## Manual installation

As a last resort, you can manually install it. Download the tarball, untar it,
then build it:

    % perl Makefile.PL
    % make && make test

Then install it:

    % make install

If your perl is system-managed, you can create a local::lib in your home
directory to install modules to. For details, see the local::lib documentation:
https://metacpan.org/pod/local::lib

## Documentation

Try-Tiny documentation is available as POD.
You can run perldoc from a shell to read the documentation:
