Installing TaskForest

This program depends on DateTime, for timezone support. You can install DateTime as follows:

    perl -MCPAN -e 'install DateTime'

Similarly, as of version 1.10, it also depends on Config::General and Log::Log4perl. You can install these as follows:

    perl -MCPAN -e 'install Config::General'
    perl -MCPAN -e 'install Log::Log4perl'

As of version 1.15, it also depends on the LWP libraries such as HTTP::Daemon, HTTP::Request, etc.

Download the latest TaskForest-X.YY.tar.gz file. You can install it the 'normal' way:

    tar -xzf TaskForest-X.YY.tar.gz
    cd TaskForest-X.YY
    perl Makefile.PL
    make
    make test
    make install

If you don't have root access, and want to install in a local directory like ~/perl, replace the third line with

    perl Makefile.PL prefix=~/perl

OR

You could just enter:

    perl -MCPAN -e 'install TaskForest'

to install TaskForest. This may not install the latest version immediately after it's available on Sourceforge because it takes a little while (a day or so) for the files to be available on CPAN.
