README for GermaNet::Flat ABSTRACT GermaNet::Flat - Simple flat interface to GermaNet (and other) thesaurus relations REQUIREMENTS Perl Modules See "Makefile.PL", "META.json", and/or "META.yml" in the distribution directory. Perl dependencies should be available on CPAN . HTTP Server If you wish to use the included "gn-view.perl" CGI script to provide a browser-based exploratory interface, you will need a local HTTP server (e.g. apache) to handle the dirty work. See your HTTP server's documentation for details on how to configure CGI wrappers. DESCRIPTION The "GermaNet::Flat" package provides a simple object-oriented API for "flat" access to GermaNet (and other) thesaurus relations. It supports compilation of GermaNet XML sources to Berkeley DB using the DB_File module, CDB using the CDB_File module, native perl HASH-refs using the Storable module, or dictionary-like plain text. INSTALLATION Issue the following commands to the shell: bash$ cd GermaNet-Flat-0.01 # (or wherever you unpacked this distribution) bash$ perl Makefile.PL # check requirements, etc. bash$ make # build the module bash$ make test # (optional): test module before installing bash$ make install # install the module on your system AUTHOR Bryan Jurish COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Copyright (C) 2013-2019 by Bryan Jurish This package is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself, either Perl version 5.24.1 or, at your option, any later version of Perl 5 you may have available.
