1. How to install Net::Telnet::Netscreen

1.1 Prerequisites

	+ Net::Telnet 3.02

	------------------------------

	Windows machines need some additional modules to make PPM 
	(the Perl Package Manager) work correctly:

	+ nmake
	ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/nmake15.exe

	+ Compress::Tar
	ftp://ftp.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/SRZ/Archive-Tar-0.22.tar.gz

	+ Compress::Zlib
	ftp://ftp.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/PMQS/Compress-Zlib-1.08.tar.gz

	+ PPM
	PPM is installed when you install ActivePerl.
		
	For more information, read the PPM FAQ:
	http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/docs/faq/ActivePerl-faq2.html

------------------------------------------------------------

1.2 Make and install

1.2.1 UNIX

	If you've never used CPAN before, set it up:

	$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
	# ...and follow the instructions. When done, type:
	cpan> install Net::Telnet::Netscreen

	------------------------------

	If you've used the CPAN module in the past, it's easier:

	$ perl -MCPAN -e 'install Net::Telnet::Netscreen'

	------------------------------

	Failing those, download the module and install by hand:

	$ perl Makefile.PL [--prefix=...]
	$ make
	$ make test
	$ make install

1.2.2 Windows

	I, uh, don't have a Windows machine so this may or may not work.
	:-) First, make sure you have the software listed in section 1.1 
	installed. Next, use PPM to download and install 
	Net::Telnet::Netscreen. 

	The FAQ listed in section 1.1 may be able to help you; I certainly 
	can't.

	Kindly email me if you can provide instructions on accomplishing this.
	Thanks.

1.2.3 MacOS

	Uuhm, simple solution, use Macos X.. It's got a unixlike perl :)

1.3 Troubleshooting

	Email m.ramberg@wineasy.no if you have difficulties.

	Please include a script(1) typescript of the installation problems.
