CGI-Application-Plugin-REST

If you use the CGI::Application framework, this plugin will help you create a 
RESTful (that's the common term for "using REST") architecture by abstracting 
out a lot of the busy work needed to make it happen.

INSTALLATION

If you have the Module::Signature module installed, you can verify the
integrity of this distribution by typing:

    cpansign -v

Module::Signature requires GnuPG which you can get from: 
http://www.gnupg.org/download/
A binary version for Windows is available from that page.
        
Then to install this module, run the following commands:

    perl Build.pl
    ./Build
    ./Build test
    ./Build install
    
On Windows you don't need to type the preliminary ./

Alternatively, you can do:

    perl Makefile.PL
    make
    make test
    make install

If you are using ActiveState perl on Windows and you don't have a make 
utility, you can download nmake from:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/vc15/patch/1.52/w95/en-us/nmake15.exe
(Replace make with nmake in the instructions above if you are using it.)

If you are using Strawberry perl on Windows, it comes with a make utility 
called dmake.  (Replace make with dmake in the instructions above if you are
using it.)

DEPENDENCIES

This module is pure perl and should work with any version of perl, 5.008 or 
greater.  It requires these other modules from CPAN:

CGI::Application    4.04
REST-Utils          0.4

At build time you will need the above modules plus the following if you want
to run the tests:

CGI::Application::Plugin::DevPopup
Test::LongString
Test::WWW::Mechanize::CGIApp

The signature can be tested by installing the following module:

Module::Signature

and setting the environment variable TEST_SIGNATURE to 1.
