This Readme is meant to describe how you should go about using the
|
|
Stockticker to RSS script. Please keep in mind, that all software retrieved
|
|
from CVS is in a constant change; your script might work now, but it might
|
|
not work a moment later.
|
|
|
|
You need to customize each executed script to fit your needs, yet before you
|
|
can do so, you must be sure, that the version of perl you are running is
|
|
providing all the necessary modules for this script to function. You need to
|
|
have the following module(s) installed:
|
|
|
|
Finance::Quote
|
|
|
|
If you are not sure wheter those are installed, simply execute the script at
|
|
the command line and watch for possible errors. Right now the script has no
|
|
error handling what so ever, which might be corrected in future versions.
|
|
You can either go and retrieve the modules from www.cpan.org and install
|
|
them by hand or run the following command as root, while you are connected
|
|
to the Internet:
|
|
|
|
perl -MCPAN -e "install module::name"
|
|
|
|
Executing this command at the prompt will automatically download and install
|
|
the requested module, eventual dependencies will be resolved automatically.
|
|
|
|
Once you have installed all the necessary tools, you can start customizing
|
|
your script, this means, that you should open it with your favourite editor
|
|
and read the comments above each variable you must set carefully. Most
|
|
scripts are commented rather precisely, as it is the case with this one.
|
|
|
|
Once you are sure you have set all the variables as requested in the scripts
|
|
upper part, you may now store it anywhere on your hard disk. Make sure you
|
|
have read knewstickers help on executing pre commands.
|
|
|
|
Enjoy this script and READ the commentary within it..
