README for GermaNet::Flat

ABSTRACT

GermaNet::Flat - Simple flat interface to GermaNet (and other) thesaurus relations

REQUIREMENTS

Perl Modules

See Makefile.PL, META.json, and/or META.yml in the distribution directory. Perl dependencies should be available on CPAN.

HTTP Server

If you wish to use the included 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.

DESCRIPTION

The GermaNet::Flat package provides a simple object-oriented API for "flat" access to GermaNet (and other) thesaurus relations. It supports compilation of GermaNet XML sources to Berkeley DB using the DB_File module, CDB using the CDB_File module, native perl HASH-refs using the Storable module, or dictionary-like plain text.

INSTALLATION

Issue the following commands to the shell:

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
