DEPENDENCIES OF LIBWEB
----------------------
The following non-standard perl's libraries are required,


* Digest

	http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Digest-MD5

* Crypt::CBC

	http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Crypt-CBC

* Crypt::Blowfish (recommended)

	http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Crypt-Blowfish

  or Crypt::DES

	http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Crypt-DES

  or Crypt::IDEA

	http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Crypt-IDEA

* DBI

	http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=DBI

* the specific DBD for your database, e.g. Msql-Mysql

	http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Msql-Mysql-modules

* Mail::Sendmail, you definitely need this if your server doesn't have
  sendmail (most unix servers have sendmail)

	http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Mail-Sendmail

You need none of the above mentioned libraries if you are not going to
use the user/session management and database APIs of LibWeb, namely
LibWeb::Admin, LibWeb::Crypt, LibWeb::Database, LibWeb::Digest and
LibWeb::Session.

LibWeb currently does not have mod_perl support.


FEATURES
--------
LibWeb is a Perl library/toolkit for building community web
site/applications.

Features:

* Members and sessions management (authentication via cookies),

* concise, database independent and easy to use database API with
  enhanced MySQL support (planning),

* template-driven, dynamic HTML page generation without using
  PHP/ASP/SSI/Javascript, and

* HTML widgets and themes.


INSTALLATION
------------
In short, on your command line,

	perl Makefile.PL
	make
	make test
	make install

This will install the LibWeb package to standard locations
on your machine.  You can check the values of these standard
variables on your system with

	perl '-V:install.*'
