Installing RS::Handy

The RS::Handy module is just the single file, so you can copy Handy.pm to a directory called RS which is in Perl's path (@INC). On Unix systems /usr/local/lib/site_perl/RS/Handy.pm should work. See the output of "perl -V" to learn your perl's @INC.

Alternatively, you can download the properly-named module and simple Makefile.PL and use them in the usual fashion:

    $ ls -l
    total 65
    -rw-rw-r--    1 roderick roderick    61776 Feb  1 11:20 Handy.pm
    -rw-rw-r--    1 roderick roderick      102 Feb  1 11:17 Makefile.PL
    $ perl Makefile.PL
