File/Locate version 0.61 ======================== File::Locate is a direct port of the GNU locate command. As of now, you can query an existing locate-db in a very similar way to locate(1L). The module can also deal with the more recent slocate-format. INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install When using suncc under Solaris, you probably have to do perl Makefile.PL CCFLAGS=-Xa in order to put ucbcc into ANSI mode. DEPENDENCIES This module requires these other modules and libraries: Test::More An existing locate-db wont hurt, too. ;-) You can create one manually if you have the frcode program: find / | frcode > locatedb PLATFORMS Tested on Perl5.005_03, Perl5.8.4 and 5.6.1 under Linux (gcc3.2) and with Perl5.005_03 and various BSDs. 0.60 and later (unlike 0.01) not tested on Solaris.
