This is the README for Compress::Huffman version 0.08.

Compress::Huffman is a "module" for the Perl computer programming language,
a library of computer code to install on a computer.  This document
contains four sections:

1. About - what the module does

2. Documentation - how to learn more about the module

3. Installation - how to install this module on a computer

4. Help - what to do if you get stuck

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

1. ABOUT

Compress::Huffman - Huffman encode a symbol table

Compress::Huffman converts a table of symbols and probabilities to a
Huffman encoded form. The Huffman encoding is output as strings using
a restricted alphabet, so binary encoding is a string of the form
"0101" rather than genuine binary.

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

2. DOCUMENTATION

You can read the documentation for the module online at the following
website:

    * http://metacpan.org/release/Compress-Huffman

(This link goes to the latest version of the module.)

After installing the module, you can read the documentation on your
computer using

    perldoc Compress::Huffman

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

3. INSTALLATION

This module requires Perl version 5.6.1 or later.

To install the module from CPAN, use

    cpan Compress::Huffman

If you have the App::cpanminus installer, you may prefer

    cpanm Compress::Huffman

To install the module from the source file, Compress-Huffman-0.08.tar.gz,
follow this sequence of commands:

    tar xfz Compress-Huffman-0.08.tar.gz
    cd Compress-Huffman-0.08
    perl Makefile.PL
    make
    make install

If you want to test the module before installing it, use "make test" after
"make" and before "make install".

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