16 This distribution consists of a number of Source Filters.
18 For more details see the pod documentation embedded in the .pm files.
20 If you intend using the Filter::Call functionality, I would strongly
21 recommend that you check out Damian Conway's excellent Filter::Simple
22 module. Damian's module provides a much cleaner interface than
23 Filter::Util::Call. Although it doesn't allow the fine control that
24 Filter::Util::Call does, it should be adequate for the majority of
25 applications. It's available at

33 Before you can build the Source Filters you need to have the following
34 installed on your system:
36 * Perl 5.004 or better. 5.6.0 or better is recommended for Win32.
38 If your Perl is less than version 5.004_55, the "order" test harness
45 Assuming you have met all the prerequisites, building the modules
46 should be relatively straightforward.
48 The modules can now be built using this sequence of commands:
54 The filters have been successfully built and tested on the following
57 SunOS 4.1.3 (Sun C compiler & gcc 2.7.2.3)
58 Solaris 2.3 (Sun C Compiler)
61 Windows NT 4.0 (Visual C++ 5.0 and Borland C++ 5.02)
63 GNU tr and GNU cpp must be installed somewhere on the path for the
64 testsuite to pass successfully on Windows NT.
