All of these directories will have their own self-contained installation
of software.  Named versions (i.e. "test", "qa", "prod") are simply
symbolic links to the particular version to which they currently apply.

In your chosen development directory, you should set the permissions
to allow access to be granted by group.

  chgrp -R spadkins /usr/mycompany/spadkins  # all files and dirs owned by group
  chmod 775 `find /usr/mycompany/spadkins -type d -print` # dirs writable by the group
  chmod g+s `find /usr/mycompany/spadkins -type d -print` # setgid bit keeps files in the group

Within each directory, you should create a default set of subdirectories.

  cd /usr/mycompany/spadkins
  mkdir src lib bin man etc include src/tar

You should set up in your ".profile" some appropriate variables.

  PREFIX=/usr/mycompany/spadkins; export PREFIX
  PATH=$PREFIX/bin:$PATH; export PATH
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PREFIX/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  LIBPATH=$PREFIX/lib:$LIBPATH; export LIBPATH  # for AIX? (instead of LD_LIBRARY_PATH)
  MANPATH=$PREFIX/man:$MANPATH; export MANPATH

Note: If no initial MANPATH was set, setting the MANPATH this way
could inhibit the "man" command
from finding all of the standard "man" pages.  You may need to create
an initial MANPATH something like this and then add the $PREFIX/man
directory to it.

  MANPATH=`find /usr /opt /man -type d -name man -print 2> /dev/null`
  MANPATH=`echo $MANPATH | sed 's/ /:/g'`
  export MANPATH

Note: It may be similar for LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and you may need to set an
initial LD_LIBRARY_PATH something like this.

  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`find /usr /opt /lib -type d -name lib -print 2> /dev/null`
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH | sed 's/ /:/g'`
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Now log out and log in again so that your ".profile" variables
are in your environment.

=head1 INSTALLATION

Presumably you have Perl installed. If not, go here.

   http://www.perl.org/get.html
   http://www.cpan.org/src/README.html

Install it as appropriate.  Then become root ("su - root") and use the CPAN
shell to install a bunch of distributions that Business-Travel-OTA depends on.
Then install the Business-Travel-OTA distribution itself.

   perl -MCPAN -e shell
   cpan> install Module::Build
   cpan> install App::Build
   cpan> install App::Options
   cpan> install XML::Simple
   cpan> install Data::Dumper
   cpan> install LWP::UserAgent
   cpan> install SOAP::Lite
   cpan> install MIME::Entity
   cpan> install XML::XPath
   cpan> install Crypt::SSLeay
   cpan> install Business::Travel::OTA
   cpan> exit

Presumably you have Apache running on your machine.  If not, start it up or
install it.  You cannot run the OTA demo server without a web server.

=head1 AND MORE

I need to write more on this, but this is how far I got thus far.
