=item Perl Modules
See C<Makefile.PL>, C<META.json>, and/or C<META.yml> in the distribution directory.
Perl dependencies should be available on L<CPAN|http://metacpan.org>.
=item HTTP Server
If you wish to use the included C<gn-view.perl> CGI script to provide a
browser-based exploratory interface, you will need a local HTTP server
(e.g. apache) to handle the dirty work. See your HTTP server's documentation
for details on how to configure CGI wrappers.

=head1 DESCRIPTION
The C<GermaNet::Flat> package provides a simple object-oriented API
for "flat" access to L<GermaNet|http://www.sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/GermaNet/> (and other)
thesaurus relations. It supports compilation of GermaNet XML sources
to Berkeley DB using the L<DB_File|DB_File> module,
CDB using the L<CDB_File|CDB_File> module,
native perl HASH-refs using the L<Storable|Storable> module,
or dictionary-like plain text.
=head1 INSTALLATION

bash$ cd GermaNet-Flat-0.01 # (or wherever you unpacked this distribution)
bash$ perl Makefile.PL # check requirements, etc.
bash$ make # build the module
bash$ make test # (optional): test module before installing
bash$ make install # install the module on your system
