This is the README file for the Perl extension module bundle AFS (Version v2.6.4) DESCRIPTION The AFS module bundle is a dynamically loadable extension to Perl. It gives the AFS user and AFS administrator access to many of the AFS programming APIs, allowing them to make these calls directly from Perl, rather than processing the output of a command. WHAT'S NEW? Version v2.6.4 is just a bug fixing release. For more details, please see the file named 'CHANGES' which should have been included in the AFS module distribution. RESTRICTIONS This release * does not support Transarc/IBM AFS system libraries version 3.4 or version 3.5 !!! * does not support features and styles from Perl AFS module "major version 1" DEPRECATION The module AFS::KAS is deprecated and will be removed in version v2.8.0 INSTALLATION If you want to install the AFS module bundle on a 32-bit platform read the 'INSTALL' file. For installation on a 64-bit platform read the 'INSTALL_64' file. DOCUMENTATION The POD documentation is automatically installed to the system wide Perl documentation. It is readable with the 'perldoc' utility. For information about HTML documentation, please check the file 'pod/v2/README'. EXAMPLES The 'examples' directory contains some simple examples how to use the AFS modules. However I do not guarantee these scripts to work. COMPATIBILITY This release does NOT support any features and interfaces from Perl AFS modules major version 1. CAVEATS A few methods from the AFS command suite BOS are not yet released. For details, please see 'AFS::BOS.pod'. BUGS Development questions, bug reports, and patches should be sent to Norbert E Gruener . Bug reports are also welcome at . When reporting bugs/problems please include information about operating system version, perl version, AFS version, AFS module version. Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
