+PREREQUISITES
+
+    Perl
+
+        Perl version 5.8.1 or later.
+        The latest version of Perl is available from http://www.perl.com/.
+
+    Perl Modules
+
+        There are no non-standard Perl modules required by this module.
+
+INSTALLATION
+
+    To install this module, cd to the directory that contains this INSTALL file
+    and type the following:
+
+        perl Makefile.PL
+        make
+        make test
+        make install
+
+    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.
+
+    On Windows, you will need to use "nmake" or "dmake" rather than "make" in
+    the commands above, depending on what your perl was built with.  To
+    determine which make program was used to build your perl type the following:
+
+        perl -V:make

-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
+pages and installed as part of the installation process.  You should
 also be able to use the 'perldoc' utility to extract documentation from
 the module files directly.
