INSTALLATION

There are two configurations. Those depend on whether Perl's been installed
on your PC or not.
0. The common steps of the installation.
- unpack "perllib.dll" to your PB project dir or to a dir in the PATH. 
- import "n_perl.sru" into one of your PBLs.

1. If you have installed Active Perl 5.6.x (build 618 or later) or 
compiled Perl 5.6.x from CPAN with BUILD_FLAVOR=ActivePerl, then you
don't need any other steps.

2. If you don't have Perl installed, just copy "perl56.dll" from the archive 
to your PB project dir or to a dir in the PATH. 
In this case you won't be able to "use" standard modules. 
In other words, you'll have a naked Perl interpreter with the built-in functions available only. 
However, this still give you the power of Perl's regex'es and string 
processing primitives and you can "use" your own modules, just put them into
a dir. from @INC.

The supplied version of Perl is 5.6.1

EXAMPLES

There is a sample application in the archive ("pbperl.sra").
Import it into a PBL or just copy the application's open script 
from "pbperl.sra".
