$ git cat-file blob v1.28:README
libnet is a collection of Perl modules which provides a simple
and consistent programming interface (API) to the client side
of various protocols used in the internet community.

For details of each protocol please refer to the RFC. RFC's
can be found a various places on the WEB, for a starting
point look at:

http://www.yahoo.com/Computers_and_Internet/Standards/RFCs/

The RFC implemented in this distribution are

Net::FTP RFC959 File Transfer Protocol
Net::SMTP RFC821 Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
Net::Time RFC867 Daytime Protocol
Net::Time RFC868 Time Protocol
Net::NNTP RFC977 Network News Transfer Protocol
Net::POP3 RFC1939 Post Office Protocol 3

AVAILABILITY

The latest version of libnet is available from the Comprehensive Perl
Archive Network (CPAN). To find a CPAN site near you see:

http://search.cpan.org/dist/libnet/

The GitHub source repository can be browsed at

http://github.com/steve-m-hay/perl-libnet

If you have a Git client, then you can checkout the latest code with

git clone http://github.com/steve-m-hay/perl-libnet.git

INSTALLATION

In order to use this package you will need Perl version 5.8.1 or
better. You install libnet, as you would install any perl module
library, by running these commands:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

If you want to install a private copy of libnet in your home
directory, then you should try to produce the initial Makefile with
something like this command:

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/perl

The Makefile.PL program will start out by checking your perl
installation for a few packages that are recommended to be installed
together with libnet. These packages should be available on CPAN
(described above).

CONFIGURE

Normally when 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. Makefile.PL
will run Configure in an interactive mode unless these exists a file
called libnet.cfg in the build directory or Makefile.PL itself is being
run non-interactively or via cpan, cpanp or cpanm.

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 then simply run

perl Configure -d

before running Makefile.PL.

DOCUMENTATION

See ChangeLog for recent changes. POD style documentation is included
in all modules and scripts. These are normally converted to manual
pages and installed as part of the "make install" process. You should
also be able to use the 'perldoc' utility to extract documentation from
the module files directly.

DEMOS

The demos directory does contain a few demo scripts. These should be
run from the top directory like

demos/smtp.self -user my-email-address -debug

However I do not guarantee these scripts to work.

SUPPORT

Questions about how to use this library should be directed to the
comp.lang.perl.modules USENET Newsgroup. Bug reports and suggestions
for improvements can be reported on the CPAN request tracker at

http://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Name=libnet

Most of the modules in this library have an option to output a debug
transcript to STDERR. When reporting bugs/problems please, if possible,
include a transcript of a run.

This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the same terms as Perl itself.

Share and Enjoy!
