Event-Lib version 1.04 ========================= This module is a Perl wrapper around libevent(3) as available from . It allows to execute a function whenever a given event on a filehandle happens, a timeout occurs or a signal is received. INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install In case you have several libevents installed and you'd like to use the one in /usr/local/(lib|include): perl Makefile.PL INC=-I/usr/local/include LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib -levent" make make test make install For debugging-support, do: perl Makefile.PL DEFINE=-DEVENT_LIB_DEBUG ... DEPENDENCIES This module requires these other modules and libraries: + libevent(3) from ; it's advisable to always use the latest version but everything >= 0.9 should work + a C compiler + recommended for the test-suite: GTop as available from the CPAN; if you have it installed, the test-suite will run memory-leak tests as well.
