 I grabbed the tarball to take a look at it.  The INSTALL file

 might just consider installing the files by hand.  It looks 
 like spamtrack-wrapper need to be edited by hand too.

Yes, after a small amount of tinkering I was able to put things 
where I wanted them, more or less. However, the simple test 
suggested didn't work.  I THINK I know why, and it should just 
be a matter of a wee bit more tinkering.

Non-CPAN modules??

2002-09-10 Thread Brian McNett

Okay, I'm in stupid question mode, so I'll keep this short.

I'm working on ways to track spam (where most people just want 
to filter it), and looking around noticed a nifty bit of Perl 
code which appears to do most of what I want, and could easily 
be coerced into doing the rest as well...

Alas, I'm so used to just grabbing things from CPAN that I'm not 
sure where to begin with installing this puppy by hand.  I 
appear to have all the prerequisites as described in the README 
and INSTALL files, but I know there are some signifigant 
differences in file structure under Darwin, and obviously don't 
want to mess things up.

So if there's anyone out there willing to give me a breif 
walk-through, or even just point me at a FAQ, I'd be much 
obliged.

You mean like:

To install the module:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
