# $Id: README,v 1.0 2005/07/31 17:31 $ -------- Abstract -------- POE::Component::Growl provides a facility for notifying events through Growl using the Mac::Growl module as back-end. Integration with POE's architecture allows easy, non-blocking notifications. ------------ Requirements ------------ POE::Component::Growl requires POE and Mac::Growl. Installing it with the CPAN shell should cause it to do the right thing with regards to these dependencies. ------------------ Basic Installation ------------------ POE::Component::Growl may be installed through the CPAN shell in the usual manner. Typically: $ perl -MCPAN -e 'intstall POE::Component::Growl' You can also read this README from the CPAN shell: $ perl -MCPAN -e shell cpan> readme POE::Component::Growl And you can install the component from the CPAN prompt as well: cpan> install POE::Component::Growl ------------------- Manual Installation ------------------- This module may also be installed manually. Its distribution is available from the author's CPAN directory, , or a similarly named directory at your favorite CPAN mirror. Downloading and unpacking the distribution are left as exercises for the reader. To build and test it: perl Makefile.PL make test The test program will build a POE application and send you a notification through Growl. When you're ready to install the component: make install It should now be ready to use. Thanks for reading! -- Alessandro Ranellucci / aar@cpan.org / http://alex.primafila.net
