Installation using PAR archive

1) Debian

It should work out-of-par. It's development platform, but you should need
perl 5.8.

2) RedHat/Fedora

This is tested on slightly out-of-date Fedora, but instructions should apply
to newer versions (with possible changes in paths due to different versions).

If starting mbox2index produces following error:

 # ./mbox2index
 ./mbox2index: error while loading shared libraries: libperl.so.5.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

You will have to create following symlink:

 # ln -s /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.so /usr/lib/libperl.so.5.8

and re-run ldconfig:

 # /sbin/ldconfig


Installation using source code (the perl way to do it)


CPAN modules needed:

        Mail::Box
        Template::Plugin::Calendar::Simple

If you want speedup using Mail::Box, try installing Mail::Box::Parser::C
module. However, this module is memory pig, and it often just hangs on my
Maildir folders. YMMV.

CPAN modules which might get uses, depending on your templates:

        Text::Autoformat
        Text::Context::EitherSide
