t2t installation instructions

Installation

As of version 5.0, t2t comes with a makefile. You can use it or follow the instructions below. You may need to be root to install t2t. Before running the makefile you should edit to suite your needs. It will work as is for MacOSX.

Edit the t2t.pl file and change the first line to where your version of perl lives.

Copy t2t.rc file to your home directory as .t2trc

External Perl Modules

Starting with version 6.0 t2t relies on three external modules to parse Excel, OpenOffice, and CSV files. The modules are:

• Spreadsheet::ParseExcel
• Spreadsheet::ReadSXC
• Text::CSV_XS

t2t will continue to parse ASCII delimited files without these modules installed. These modules can all be installed from CPAN. Installing Spreadsheet::Read will install all three modules that t2t uses.

You Have Root Access

1. Copy the T2t directory to a standard Perl module directory. Under MacOSX, this /Library/Perl.
2. Copy t2t.pl to /usr/local/bin and rename it to t2t
3. Copy t2t.1 to /usr/local/man/man1

No Root Access

1. Copy the T2t directory to a directory. Edit your environment variable PERL5LIB to contain the parent directory of the T2t directory
2. Copy t2t.pl to your personal bin directory (e.g. /Users/steve/bin) and rename it to t2t
3. Copy t2t.1 to your personal man directory.
