PerlMonks ChatterBox Client

==

DESCRIPTION

--

There are two executable programs, `pm-cb` and `pm-cb-g`. The former

doesn't implement a full chat client (you can't use it to post to the

ChatterBox) and is no longer supported. The latter is a graphical

client to PerlMonks' ChatterBox written in Perl and Tk.

Pull requests welcome!

PREQUISITES

--

Install required modules using

```

cpanm --installdeps .

```

If your `perl` has been compiled with thread support:

```

perl -MConfig -E 'say "Threads supported" if $Config{useithreads}'

```

you can simply start the program with

```

perl pm-cb-g

```

If threads are not supported, either compile a new perl with threads enabled,

e.g.

```

perlbrew install perl-5.30.0 --as=5.30.0-threads -Dusethreads

perlbrew use 5.30.0-threads

```

or run the program using `MCE::Hobo` with

```

perl pm-cb-g --mce_hobo

```

or with `MCE::Child`

```

perl pm-cb-g --mce_child

```
