Before you install perl support for argus, check out the variables at the top of Argus.pm and be sure to delete the $NotConfigured. You will almost certainly want to modify some of the configuration variables. You will also probably want to edit Watcher.pm and Slowscan.pm if you wish to use these scripts. These files are installed in the ../lib/Argus directory and you will probably need to fine tune the options as you gain experience with the sripts. AUTOMATIC INSTALLATION To install, just type perl Makefile.PL make make install This will install all the files under the either $ARGUSHOME or $HOME directories. Make sure that either of these enviroment variables are set appropriately Currently there is little in the way of testing. make leaves the files ready for installation under the blib directory so you may want to move them to their final destinations by hand. However be warned, make alters some paths in the scripts (look for the #^# marker in the scripts). It is vital that these paths reflect the real location of the library files etc.
