Purpose
=======

The purpose of GTorrentViewer is to give the ability to see and modify all
the possible information from .torrent files without having to start

FAQ:
====

Q1: I get the following message: configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is
required for intltool. What do I do about it?

A: You need to make sure that you have the right variant of the xml-parser-pm
package to match the Perl version for your system. Try running

perl -MCPAN -e shell

as root and in the cpan prompt type

install XML::Parser.
