This is the distribution of the Perl module
File::Replace.
It is a Perl extension for replacing files by renaming a temp file over the original.
Please see the module's documentation (POD) for details (try the command
perldoc lib/File/Replace.pm) and the file Changes for version
information.
Because this module's code was forked from the original File-Replace
distribution and repository, its code is still contained in the
File-Replace repository, branch onlyreplace, which you can find
at https://github.com/haukex/File-Replace/tree/onlyreplace.
If you're checking out this suite of modules from Git, I suggest the following:
git clone --branch tiehandle https://github.com/haukex/File-Replace.git Tie-Handle-Base
git clone --branch onlyreplace https://github.com/haukex/File-Replace.git File-Replace
git clone --branch fancyreplace https://github.com/haukex/File-Replace.git File-Replace-Fancy
git clone --branch reinplace https://github.com/haukex/File-Replace.git File-Replace-Inplace
To install this module type the following:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
If you are running Windows, you may need to use dmake, nmake, or gmake
instead of make.
Requirements: Perl v5.8.1 or higher (a more current version is strongly recommended) and several of its core modules; users of older Perls may need to upgrade some core modules.
The full list of required modules can be found in the file Makefile.PL.
This module should work on any platform supported by these modules.
