Installing and Using Perl Binaries

Requirements
------------

1.  ActivePerl 5.8.8 or other compatible Perl release must be properly 
    installed on your system, including PPM support.  ppm must be in your PATH.
    The binaries are compiled against ActivePerl 5.8.8 so other versions
    may not install or work.

    NOTE: ActivePerl may have 2 versions of ppm -- one that is
    invoked as a .bat file and one that may be invoked from a
    Cygwin shell and begins "#!/usr/bin/perl"  That one may
    require editing to point to the actual location of your ActivePerl
    "perl" executable.  If you get an error message like
    	   "Can't open perl script "/cygdrive/c/Perl/bin/ppm": No such
	   	  file or directory
    then that is your problem.

Install
-------

In this directory, type:
   ppm install dbxml_perl.ppd

This will install the Berkeley DB XML Perl binary files in the 
appropriate location for your system.  It is still necessary for
you to have <InstallDir>/bin in your PATH to run programs.  The installer
should have done that for you.

Perl example programs, if installed, can be found in 
<InstallDir>/dbxml/examples/perl/gettingStarted. When using these 
examples, always start with loadExamplesData.pl. There is a Readme.txt 
file for the gettingStarted examples in this directory.
