13 See the Makefile.PL file for Perl module prerequisites, under "PREREQ_PM".
14 Additionally, you will need:
16 * Download command, e.g. curl [2] or wget [2]
18 [1] <http://quvi.sourceforge.net/>
19 [2] <http://curl.haxx.se/>
20 [3] <http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/>
25 You could skip this step, if you like, and instead just run "bin/clive".
26 This should work as long as the prerequisites are found.
32 You can specify the install prefix with INSTALL_BASE
33 e.g. "perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=/usr/local"

41 Read "man clive" (or "perldoc man1/clive.1.pod"). You should consider
42 setting --quvi and --get-with in your config file for seamless use.
46 --quvi "/usr/bin/quvi %u"
47 --get-with "/usr/bin/curl -L -C - -o %f %u"
49 If you need to set HTTP proxy, etc., please refer to the documentation
55 Consider packaging a system-wide default configuration file along with
56 your clive package. The config file should define at least --quvi and
57 --get-with (see "GETTING STARTED" above) so that clive will work
58 "out-of-the-box" when your package is installed.
60 You could use wget(1) instead of curl(1), although I am yet to find
61 the correct combo of options that allows resuming file transfers
62 without overwriting the existing file (e.g. "wget -c -O %f" does not
63 yield the hoped results).
65 Whatever values you choose to set in the default system-wide config
66 file, please be sure to make your clive package depend on those
69 For additional notes about the configuration file (e.g. paths), please
70 read the "FILES" section in the manual page.
