+To make and test, do the following:
+ perl Makefile.PL
+ make
+ make test
+
+To copy the libs and docs to the right places,
+do this (as superuser or administrator):
+ make install
+
+If you're using Windows, you probably have to first get nmake to make this
+work. If you have the ActiveState distribution, read the part about installing
+modules from CPAN.
+
+Then:
+ perl Makefile.PL
+ nmake
+ nmake test
+ nmake install
+
+
+If you don't have the Info-Zip tools zip and unzip installed, you may
+get warnings from "make test" or "nmake test". Don't worry about these.
+
+Actually, if you're using ActiveState's ActivePerl on Windows
+you should first check for up to date .PPM versions and use their PPM tool
+to install them.
+
+If you are having install problems on RedHat 8 or 9 with Perl 5.8.0, please
+read this (from the FAQ in lib/Archive/Zip/FAQ.pod):
+
+ Q: Archive::Zip won't install on my RedHat 9 system! It's broke!
+
+ A: This has become something of a FAQ. Basically, RedHat broke some
+ versions of Perl by setting LANG to UTF8. They apparently have a fixed
+ version out as an update.
+
+ You might try running CPAN or creating your Makefile after exporting the
+ LANG environment variable as
+
+ "LANG=C"
