DESCRIPTION

Games::Sudoku::General is a module to solve the class of puzzle that

involves allocating symbols among sets such that no set contains more

than one of any symbol. Sudoku is the most common name for such

puzzles, though Number Place and Wasabi have also been used.

Each puzzle is considered to be made up of a number of cells, each of

which is a member of one or more sets, and each of which may contain

exactly one symbol. The contents of a number of cells are gven, and the

problem is to deduce the contents of the rest of the cells.

INSTALLATION

Most Perl users will want to install using their favorite of either

'cpan' or 'cpanp'. For either of these, installing

Games::Sudoku::General gets you everything. ActivePerl users will want

to use ActiveState's 'ppi', and install Games-Sudoku-General.

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

distribution and expand it using something like

    tar -xzf Games-Sudoku-General-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 Games/Sudoku directory (creating it if necessary)

in the appropriate place in your @INC directories.

OS-specific notes exist for (at least) MacOS (meaning, Mac OS 9

and lower), MSWin32, and VMS. See the relevant README files for

details.
