Fidonet/FTN Database related processing (FTN-Database)

Perl extension for Fidonet/FTN related processing in an SQL database supported
by a Perl DBD module, defaulting to SQLite. Includes both general operations
and specific operations like for Nodelist processing. 

Required, neccessary and/or useful modules, etc.:

DBD::SQLite SQLite DBD Module is required by default, so should be installed.
    Any other database engines will be named similarly and should be
    installed if used.  May already be installed on your system; if
    not, one place they may be obtained is at CPAN (www.cpan.org).


INSTALLATION

To install this module, run the following commands:

    perl Makefile.PL
    make
    make test
    make install

The FTN-Database extension is hosted at the 'Perl for FTN Systems' project
at SourceForge (ftnpl.sourceforge.net). The ftnpl-user or ftnpl-develop mailing
lists are available from the project site; however, the FTN echos like PERL or
BBS_CARNIVAL can be used for discussions regarding it as well and are the
preferred avenues for support.
