# $Id: README,v 1.0 2005/09/22 19:38 $ -------- Abstract -------- Module::Crypt encrypts your pure-Perl modules and then compiles them into a XS module. This lets you distribute binary versions without disclosing code. ------------ Requirements ------------ Module::Crypt requires Module::Build as a backend. ------------------ Basic Installation ------------------ Module::Crypt may be installed through the CPAN shell in the usual manner. Typically: $ perl -MCPAN -e 'intstall Module::Crypt' You can also read this README from the CPAN shell: $ perl -MCPAN -e shell cpan> readme Module::Crypt And you can install the component from the CPAN prompt as well: cpan> install Module::Crypt ------------------- Manual Installation ------------------- This module may also be installed manually. Its distribution is available from the author's CPAN directory, <ftp://ftp.cpan.org/pub/CPAN/authors/id/A/AA/AAR/>, or a similarly named directory at your favorite CPAN mirror. Downloading and unpacking the distribution are left as exercises for the reader. To build and test it: perl Makefile.PL make test When you're ready to install the component: make install It should now be ready to use.
