Adaptive Perl adaptor version 1.0 --------------------------------- Copyright. This software is Copyright (C) 1996 Peter Orbaek It is freely re-distributable under the GNU General Public License. This software is built entirely in Perl 5 and should therefore be very portable as long as you have the Perl 5 interpreter installed that is at least at version 5.002. Installation instructions ------------------------- Read and edit the Makefile and the script "adapt", then execute a make command, and follow the instructions. make build will build a man-page from the embedded POD documentation both as nroff source and as HTML. make install installs the script and the libraries it needs. make test runs the adapt compiler on a couple of small test programs, this won't work until after installation unless you comment out the "use lib" line in the "adapt" script. Notes ----- The syntax for traversal specifications was hashed out in cooperation with Jens Palsberg. The documentation still leaves a lot to be desired.
