DESCRIPTION

This package contains Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE::Iridium. a subclass of

Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE (not included) which predicts Iridium Classic

flares.  It was split from the distribution containing

Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE in anticipation of the retirement of the Iridium

Classic satellites in favor of Iridium Next, which are not anticipated

to flare, and in hope of better managing the many canned status changes

involved in the retirement of the Iridium Classic satellites.

INSTALLATION

Most Perl users will want to install using their favorite of 'cpan',

'cpanm', or 'cpanp'. For any of these, just install

Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE::Iridium. ActivePerl users who use ActiveState's

'ppi' should install Astro-Coord-ECI-TLE-Iridium.

If for some reason neither of these works for you, you can download the

distribution and expand it using something like

    tar -xzf Astro-Coord-ECI-TLE-Iridium-9.999.tar.gz

Users of MSWin32 (and perhaps other operating systems) may need to

convert the line endings in the expanded files from Unix to their native

system before proceeding.

Then, issue one of the following two incantations:

    perl Makefile.PL

    make

    make test

    sudo make install

or

    perl Build.PL

    ./Build

    ./Build test

    sudo ./Build install

You should substitute the appropriate program name for 'make', eg nmake

(typically) under MSWin32, or mms or mmk under VMS. See

ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/nmake15.exe for a copy of

nmake for MSWin32 if you need it.

Unix users may want to use 'su' rather than 'sudo' for the install.

Non-unix users may need to be logged in to an administrative or

otherwise privileged accout, and turn on privileges (if applicable) for

the install.

Of course, since it's pure Perl, you can just expand the kit and drop

the .pm files into the Astro/Coord/ECI/TLE directory (creating it if

necessary) in the appropriate place in your @INC directories.
