SVG::Element 2.33

SVG::Element is a Perl module to generate the element bits for SVG.pm.

SVG.pm makes it possible to generate fully-functional SVG images in perl.
100% of the SVG tags are supported, and any new arbitrary element tag can be
added by users by declaring it.

***THERE ARE FIVE WAYS TO IMPLEMENT SVG MODULE IN PERL***

1/ Systems with CPAN support (all Unix/Linux/BSD/Mac):
-----------------------------------------------------
Install the new distribution via the Perl CPAN module:
In a shell:

/home/somewhere% perl -MCPAN -e"install SVG"

2/ (WIN) install Perl from Active State or equivalent:
-----------------------------------------------------
Make sure you already have perl or get it here: http://www.activestate.com
On the command line:
C:> ppm
PPM> set repository tmp http://roasp.com/PPM/SVG/
PPM> install SVG
PPM> quit
C:>

3/ Use Source RPMs.
Download the source RPM of your choice.
In a shell:
/hom/somewhere/% rpm -ihv SVG-source-rpm-name
You may be prompted for the root password

4/ The hard way (requires make or nmake, tar, gunzip, and gcc):
---------------------------------------------------------------
This method was tested in DOS, Windows, AS400, Linux, Unix, BSD, Mac.
Hard-headed users can directly get the distribution from
http://www.roasp.com/PPM/SVG/SVG-2.27.tar.gz or
http://www.roasp.com/PPM/SVG/ .
First download the source.
Then, in a shell:
/home/somewhere% gunzip SVG-2.27.tar.gz
/home/somewhere% tar-xvf SVG-2.27.tar
cd SVG-2.1
make
make test
make install


5/ If all the above fail, there is still a (cumbersome) way:
-----------------------------------------------------------
You have to install to a local dirctory and explicitly call the module
by using one of the following line in your calling program:

#using use lib
use lib path/where/the/release/is/located;

-or-

#using BEGIN block at the beginning of the file
BEGIN {
push @INC path/to/svg.pm-file; #where the SVG.pm file lives
push @INC path/to/svg.pm-file/SVG; # where the Utils.pm file lives
}
#Refer to the Perl manual for more details.
