DESCRIPTION
-----------

This distribution provides a Perl interface to allow reading and writing of
Zip files.


PREREQUISITES
-------------

Before you can build Archive-Zip-SimpleZip you need to have the following
installed on your system:

    * Perl 5.006 or better.
    * IO::Compress version 2.213 or better.

BUILDING THE MODULE
-------------------

Assuming you have met all the prerequisites, the module can now be built
using this sequence of commands:

    perl Makefile.PL
    make
    make test

INSTALLATION
------------

To install Archive::Zip::SimpleZip, run the command below:

    make install

To help me help you, I need all of the following information:

 1. The Versions of everything relevant.
    This includes:

     a. The *complete* output from running this

            perl -V

        Do not edit the output in any way.
        Note, I want you to run "perl -V" and NOT "perl -v".

        If your perl does not understand the "-V" option it is too
        old. This module needs Perl version 5.006 or better.

     b. The version of Archive-Zip-SimpleZip you have.
        If you have successfully installed Archive-Zip-SimpleZip, this one-liner
        will tell you:

           perl -MArchive::Zip::SimpleZip -e 'print qq[ver $Archive::Zip::SimpleZip::VERSION\n]'

        If you are  running windows use this

           perl -MArchive::Zip::SimpleZip -e "print qq[ver $Archive::Zip::SimpleZip::VERSION\n]"

        If you haven't installed Archive-Zip-SimpleZip then search Archive::Zip::SimpleZip
        for a line like this:

          $VERSION = "2.052" ;

 2. If you are having problems building Archive-Zip-SimpleZip, send me a
    complete log of what happened. Start by unpacking the Archive-Zip-SimpleZip
    module into a fresh directory and keep a log of all the steps

        [edit config.in, if necessary]
        perl Makefile.PL
        make
        make test TEST_VERBOSE=1
