Mail/Transport/Dbx version 0.06 =============================== Mail::Transport::Dbx is a wrapper around libdbx to read Outlook Express mailboxes (more commonly known as .dbx files). It relies on a patched version of libdbx to make it work on big-endian machines (like Solaris). INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install If you happen to be using ActiveState's Perl under Windows, you can (and in fact should) install this module using ppm. The installation depends on your ActivePerl version. For pre-5.8.0 perls: C:\> ppm http://mail-mboxparser.sf.net/ppm/Mail-Transport-Dbx.ppm If you are using Perl5.8.0: C:\> ppm http://mail-mboxparser.sf.net/ppm/Mail-Transport-Dbx-580.ppm In case of problems, read on. DEPENDENCIES This module requires these other modules and libraries: None but you need a working C compiler or ActivePerl under Windows along with a working ppm. PROBLEMS: Compilation: ------------ As of v0.02, Mail::Transport::Dbx also supports suncc and MS VisualC. Solaris: -------- For suncc you might need to perl Makefile.PL CCFLAGS=-Xa make make test make install instead of the ordinary 'perl Makefile.PL'. This will put suncc into ANSI mode. Windows: -------- Tested both on ActiveState's 5.6.1 and 5.8.0beta release. Should compile out of the box. You'll receive a warning during compilation which you can safely ignore. Other platforms: ---------------- Please let me know if you are using a platform not mentioned here and encounter problems (or even if not).
