=head2 UNIX

- B<Unpack the archive>

- B<perl Makefile.PL>

You will be asked if you want to compile in support for Apache mod_perl. If
you say yes, the source of Apache is searched (for headerfiles). If 
it can't found, please specify the basepath. Please make sure 
mod_perl is already installed. If you have installed mod_perl-0.96 or
higher, Makefile.PL automatically suggests the same source path as was 
used to build mod_perl.

- B<make>

- B<make test>

- B<make install>

B<NOTE 1:> (only Embperl-1.2b1 or higher) For using session handling you need
Apache::Session-0.17 or higher. If possible use Apache::Session 1.04 or higher.
If you can't find Apache::Session 1.04 or higher on CPAN, you can download it from
ftp://ftp.dev.ecos.de/pub/perl/embperl/ .

B<NOTE 2:> I<Embperl> runs without additional Perl modules, but the C<make test>
needs the following modules to work:

=over 4

=item * URI

=item * MIME::Base64 

=item * HTML::Parser 

=item * HTML::HeadParser 

=item * Digest::MD5 

=item * libnet 

=item * libwww 

=item * libwin32 (only Win32) 

=back

If you have already successfully build and tested C<mod_perl> all modules
will already be there.





=head2 WIN 32

I have tested the offline mode on Windows 95 with a Microsoft Visual C++ 4.2
compiler and I have succesfully run Embperl with apache_1.3b5-1.3.9 / 
mod_perl-1.12-1.21 / perl5.004_04-perl5.005 (without threads) on Windows NT
with VC++ 5.0. 

B<NOTE:> It was necessary for me to compile perl5.004_04 with the VC++ on my own
to get it to run with Apache and mod_perl, while I was able to use the binary
distribution (/authors/id/GSAR/perl5.00402-bindist04-bc.tar.gz) of Perl for
offline testing under Win 95.

B<NOTE:> You need mod_perl >= 1.12 on win32


On Windows 95/NT you have to do the following:

B<perl Makefile.PL>

B<nmake> (you must have the c compiler in your path)

if you get an error about compiling Embperl.c. Edit Embperl.c and change

-#line  "Embperl.xs"

to

+#line  1 "Embperl.xs"

now re-run nmake and it should compile.

B<nmake test>

B<NOTE:> nmake test needs libwin32, libwww and HTML::Parser installed to work

B<nmake install>

B<NOTE 1:> (only Embperl-1.2b1 or higher) For using session handling you need
Apache::Session-0.17 or higher. If possible use Apache::Session 1.04 or higher.
If can't find Apache::Session 1.04 or higher on CPAN, you can download it from
