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.
