Fidonet/FTN Database related processing (ftndb) Scripts and associated Modules which can be used for Fidonet/FTN related processing in an SQL database supported by a Perl DBD module, defaulting to SQLite, and which includes FTN Nodelist processing. Required, neccessary and/or useful modules, etc.: App::Cmd May already be installed on your system; if not, one place it may be obtained is at CPAN (www.cpan.org). DBD::SQLite SQLite DBD Module is required by default, so should be installed. Any other database engines will be named similarly and should be installed if used. May already be installed on your system; if not, one place they may be obtained is at CPAN (www.cpan.org). FTN::Log Must be a least v0.02, for the 'logging' subroutine as used in the ftndb-nodelist and ftndb-admin scripts. If not already installed, it can be obtained from CPAN (www.cpan.org) or from the ftnpl project at Sourceforge. Getopt::Std May already be installed on your system; if not, one place it may be obtained is at CPAN (www.cpan.org). INSTALLATION To install this module, run the following commands: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install SUPPORT AND DOCUMENTATION After installing, you can find documentation for this application with the perldoc command. perldoc ftndb perldoc FTNDB perldoc FTN::Database perldoc FTN::Database::Nodelist perldoc ftndbadm perldoc ftndb-admin perldoc ftndb-nodelist You can also look for information at: FTN-Database Issue tracker https://github.com/ftnpl/FTN-Database/issues RT, CPAN's request tracker http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bugs.html?Dist=ftndb Search CPAN http://search.cpan.org/dist/ftndb The FTN-Database application is hosted at the 'Perl for FTN Systems' project at SourceForge (ftnpl.sourceforge.net). The ftnpl-user or ftnpl-develop mailing lists are available from the project site; however, the FTN echos like PERL or BBS_CARNIVAL can be used for discussions regarding it as well and are the preferred avenues for support. Note that the code history for FTN Database is available in a git repository at the Sourceforge project, as follows: http://git.code.sf.net/p/ftnpl/ftndb/code (Browse Online) git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/ftnpl/ftndb/code (Read Only) Note also that in distribution archives created directly from the repository, the commit id can obtained like as follows: zcat ftndb-n.nn.tar.gz | git get-tar-commit-id COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE Copyright (C) 2012 Robert James Clay This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
