Hi,
Now I packed a zip file which is reasonable small. So i dare to send it over
the mailing list. I tried a fresh install in an empty directory and it
worked. My perl version inserts a junk linefeed in the descrip.mms during
"perl makefile.pl". You have to remove it by hand. The MMS/MMK error message
gives you the line-number. The module needs the standard DBI module
installed before. I remember a trap with this module. You need to say "mms
all" instead of "mms". Hopefully this info is sufficient. The "test.pl" is a
tiny example to start (remove the comments for database creation). All my
other examples are "in-production" and i am not allowed to make them public.
The complete software is "as is" and the normal CPAN/Perl license stuff
applies. If there is positive response i will investigate how to distribute
it in the CPAN way.
Good luck
Andreas
