Hi, thanks for pointing this out. I should make the dependencies
explicit at least in the README, but to be clear they are:
XML::Twig
Text::Format
The other modules I depend on are (almost?) always installed by
default, at least in every Perl installation I've seen recently:
Pod::Usage
Sys::Hostname;
IO::File;
POSIX;
You don't say what platform you are using so I can't tell you exactly
how to get any missing modules installed for your situation, but here's
a stab at it:
Debian names the packages for Perl modules something like
lib<name-of-module-in-lowercase-with-hyphens>-perl
so Text::Format becomes libtext-format-perl.
On Ubuntu Linux and other Debian-derived Linux distros you therefore
do something like this to get this package installed:
$ sudo apt-get install libtext-format-perl
If the above doesn't apply to you and your system has the cpan command
installed, you can also do this:
$ sudo cpan -i Text::Format
The second solution above will probably work on modern releases of
your favorite BSD Unix flavor; I just checked on OpenBSD and NetBSD
systems I have access to and they both have this command.
If you are not much for Unix system administration, the "sudo" command
gives you temporary administrative powers for the purposes of a single
command; your mileage may vary depending on your situation.
Finally, if all else fails Text::Format is available from CPAN here:
http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/S/SH/SHLOMIF/Text-Format-0.53.tar.gz
The usual recipe (after you've downloaded that file however) is:
$ tar zxvf /path/to/Text-Format-0.53.tar.gz
$ cd Text-Format-0.53
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make
$ make test
# assuming make test does not kick out any errors:
$ sudo make install

Hope this helps.
