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
